Dubai Opera House to be finished in two years.

The main contractor of the Dubai Opera House, Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC), has said it has begun work on the Dubai Opera House project.

CCC is the main contractor on the project, having previously worked with the developer as part of a consortium on Dubai Mall.

The 2,000-capacity venue will be situated in the shadow of the Burk Khalifa, in Dubai's Downtown district.

It will be used for opera, theatre, concerts, art exhibitions, orchestra, film, sports events and seasonal programmes and is being developed by Emaar, which has said it will be the centerpiece of a new district to promote the arts, culture and events scene in Dubai.
