The premiere of the musical Les Miserables
One of the most unusual events of the fall will be the premiere of the musical Les Miserables, staged from the novel of the same name by Victor Hugo, which will surely make a splash in the Dubai Opera House from November 10 to December 2, 2016. Here is the power of law and love, and the self-sacrifice of former convict Jean Valjean for the freedom and happiness of others, and the musical hits "I Dreamed a Dream", "Stars" and "Do You Hear the People Sing?". “I must admit, I was very excited when I found out that the Dubai Opera House extended our season until December 2, because we originally planned to give performances until November 24,” says Cameron Mackintosh, producer of Les Miserables. “Half of the tickets have already been sold out.”
Hurry up! Tickets for the Les Miserables show can still be purchased at dubaiopera.com
Exhibition "Megalopolis" by Martin Roemers at East Wing Gallery in Dubai
For eight years, the Dutch artist Martin Roemers traveled around the world to loudly declare himself the project "Megapolis", which will be held until November 17 at the East Wing Gallery in Dubai. Paranoid, delicate in detail, he argues that more than seven billion people now live on Earth, with six billion born only in the last two centuries. Martin exclusively explores giant cities with more than 10 million inhabitants, which he masterfully mixes at his Megapolis exhibition. “The concept is to capture in one shot everything that you see and feel amid the chaos and energy of these cities,” says Roymers. “According to forecasts, by 2050, nearly three-quarters of the world's population will become city dwellers, and that fascinates me.” Photos with red stripes from traffic lights in São Paulo, with people like the waves of the ocean at a busy intersection in Tokyo, and finally, the picture where taxi drivers stopped to pray under a bridge in Lagos, are especially good - the photographer perfectly captured stillness of the moment in the pulsating life of the city.
MANUEL REBATE APPOINTED LOUVRE DIRECTOR IN ABU DHABI
We hasten to inform you that the 40-year-old Frenchman Manuel Rabat was appointed director of the Louvre in Abu Dhabi, and the 32-year-old Emirati Hissa Al Dheeri became his right-hand man - deputy in the framework of the intergovernmental agreement between Abu Dhabi and France, which was signed in 2007 . “This is a very important stage of the project,” says Manuel Rebate. “Now the team has leaders, almost all the key players have arrived and we are preparing for the opening of the museum.” True, according to Rebate, now some technological and political issues are being resolved, because of which the opening of this grandiose museum on the water is postponed to 2017. Architect Lou Jean designed the Louvre in Abu Dhabi, its creation is extravagant and impeccable - after all, unique exhibits from different civilizations and cultures will be brought to this museum.
Exhibition "Intuitive Silence" at the Carbon 12 Gallery
Carbon 12 Gallery made a major leap in quality by presenting the Intuitive Silence exhibition, which runs until November 7, 2016 in Dubai. The two-in-one genius project will be presented by two artists: the Austrian Monika Grabuschnigg will show the “Collection of Relics” - ceramic sculptures, the creation of which was inspired by the Afghan war carpets, using the language of form and color to express political turmoil and consumer protection, and Lebanese artist Kristin Ketteneh created three installations about the keys to the house after the keys to her own apartment in London were damaged and she could not get inside. “I think that the key system only increases the distance between yours and mine, demonstrates power and ownership,” says Kristin Ketteneh. “This reminds me that in general people are predisposed to be together as a community, but the systems that underlie our lives give the opposite effect. " At the same time, the artist is most interested in those pieces of keys that are lost or cut off, they seem to yearn for the missing parts - and all because each key has its own unique melody that we cannot hear.
Elton John Concert at Autism Rocks Arena in Dubai
There is no doubt that December 15 will be a significant day for all connoisseurs of music by Elton John, an ever-young singer with cool glasses and a shiny jacket, a gentleman of the Order of the British Empire and a 69-year-old millionaire who does not sit still.
After a tour in Las Vegas, Malmo, Vilnius, Riga, Antwerp and Zurich, Sir Elton Herkuliz John will give the only concert in Dubai as part of the Behind The Piano world tour. We love everything Elton does, and his hot fans know that over the course of his 50-year career, he has sold over 250 million CDs, in 1995 he won an Oscar for his song to the poems of Tim Rice "Can you Feel the Love Tonight ? " from the movie The Lion King, and in 1992 founded the Elton John AIDS Foundation, a charitable organization against AIDS. And, paradoxically, it was Elton John who had a tremendous influence on the formation of the current British pop and rock scene - after all, the piano under his arms seemed to begin to generously spray happiness. Do not miss!
