The glass-and-steel façade of Dubai Opera catches the city’s glare like a ship cutting through a harbor of glass towers. Step out of the transfer vehicle and the downtown hum recedes; footsteps echo across a foyer designed for movement and spectacle. On this hour-long grand tour you move from public foyers into rooms few visitors see—dressing areas, the trap room beneath the stage, and the clever seat-storage systems that make a 2,000-seat venue reconfigure for recitals or galas.
