This inaugural space, another Dubai first and a five-year project for LXA comes to fruition in 2017 opening in the second half of the year. The multi-use complex features an extravagant state-of-the-art aqua theatre that uses 2.7 million litres of water to create a stunning and visually captivating experience, both above and below stage level.  

Sarah-Jane Grant, the director at LXA, said: "Our appointment on this project underlines the team’s ability to deliver on large-scale and deeply complex projects to world-class standards. This project has been an incredibly important and much loved project for the LXA team and is particularly close to our hearts."

"It will bring a new genre of live performance to the region making a statement on the creativity and love of immersive, elevated entertainment experiences in a space which is a Dubai first. After almost five years, LXA is thrilled to see such a substantial and internationally recognised project come to life," she added.
