Zaha Hadid*s project for the Performing Arts Centre for Saadiyat Island, United Arab Emirates

The structure will be housing 5 theatres: a music hall, concert hall, opera house, drama theatre and a flexible theatre with a combined seating capacity for 6,300. The Centre may also house an Academy of Performing Arts.








It will be located next to the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi – a contemporary art museum, which will be the only one of its kind in the Middle East, designed by Frank Gehry, Jean Nouvel of France is designing the Classical Museum, while Japan’s Tadao Ando is designing the Maritime Museum.
