Dubai Opera Seating Plan

Dubai Opera has a  2000-seat capacity, which is subdivided into three levels. The levels are listed below:

  • The Stalls: This is the biggest seating area and is close to the main stage, which is why the price for this section is the heftiest.
  • The Royal Circle: This is the middle section that offers a wide variety of seating options. This section is also a fair choice as it offers a clean and clear view of the main stage.
  • The Grand Circle: it is the last section with the lowest seating prices, but the view offered is not the best.
