A brand-new venue capable of hosting world-class entertainment at one of Dubai's most popular malls has officially opened. New Covent Garden at Mall of the Emirates is a hive of creativity featuring a 575-seater theatre, ten dance and rehearsal studios and a new restaurant. The theatre will bring first-class stage productions, including West End musicals, Arabic plays, ballet, comedy, opera, family shows and concerts to the mall. Major industry professionals are behind the move to bring the new live arts space to Dubai, so you can expect the highest standards.

She said: 'New Covent Garden has been a passionate dream for Johnny and I for years. 'Being professional performers ourselves and having made Dubai our home over 10 years ago, we wanted to create a unique space and a home for performers, dancers, musicians, artists and the theatre and performing arts community — a creative hub where people from all walks of life can come together and share their passion and their love of the arts. 'New Covent Garden is an exciting and unique venue with a beautifully equipped 575-seater Theatre in the heart of Mall of the Emirates, along with 10 accompanying Dance and Rehearsal studios, a performer's dream to be able to rehearse, train and perform in one location, with a fully working Theatre and 10 backstage dressing rooms.' The first show at the new venue will be in collaboration with Live Nation Middle East.
