Dubai Opera has announced five shows taking place this year, starting with Lebanese-American stand-up comic Nemr on October 22.

Ronnie Scott’s ‘Giants of Jazz’ concert will follow on November 6, using music, film and images to journey through 100 years of jazz, featuring the works of Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson, Chet Baker and more.

Flamenco Passion: De Lucía a Camarón will take place on November 11. The acclaimed modern flamenco ensemble’s show will be a nod to guitarist Paco de Lucía and vocalist Camarón de la Isla, who revolutionised flamenco in the 1960s to kick off the Nuevo Flamenco wave.
