Art For All brings Rolling Bones to Dubai for two rock-opera-themed evening performances, blending high-octane live music with theatrical staging and contemporary choreography. The ticket listings place the shows on Sunday and Monday, 9 and 10 November 2025, with curtain up at 8:00pm on both nights. According to information compiled by Few.ae editor, the event is billed as an immersive, concert-style stage experience designed for a broad audience of music fans and theatre-goers alike.
Where it’s happening and why the venue fits
The production takes over Zabeel Theatre inside the five-star Jumeirah Zabeel Saray on the West Crescent of Palm Jumeirah—an ornate, Ottoman-inspired setting that regularly hosts concerts, dance productions and touring stage shows. The venue’s own specifications list 651 tiered seats (with additional balcony seating) or up to 1,000 standing, a generous proscenium stage roughly 14 metres wide with ample wing space, plus multiple dressing rooms for quick changeovers—ideal for a music-driven production with theatrical cues.
Getting there, arrivals and access
Reaching Palm Jumeirah’s West Crescent is most straightforward by car or taxi. Drivers approach via Crescent Road, with resort signage guiding to Jumeirah Zabeel Saray; ride-hailing drop-offs are at the hotel’s main entrance near the theatre foyer. For public transport users, the most reliable option is a Metro-plus-taxi connection (Red Line to Dubai Marina or Internet City, then a short car ride), given the Crescent’s limited bus and tram coverage. Allow buffer time around weekend traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road and the Palm trunk.
What to expect on stage
Promotional material trails a high-energy, music-first staging with rock instrumentation, amplified vocals and ensemble movement—think the immediacy of a gig wrapped in theatrical lighting, cues and narrative beats. A 90-minute runtime is widely referenced in event write-ups, giving room for set-piece numbers and a tightly paced arc without an interval. Recent previews also flagged the work’s Swiss pedigree on the touring circuit, aligning with Art For All’s programming of international acts in an intimate Dubai theatre.
Inside the theatre: comfort and tech
Zabeel Theatre’s bowl delivers clear sightlines from stalls to balcony, supported by modern sound reinforcement and show lighting. The venue’s configuration—broad aisles, a deep stage and backstage rooms—supports live bands, chorus mics and quick scene transitions. Expect hotel-grade HVAC, staffed foyers, and adjacent lounges within the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray complex for pre- and post-show meet-ups.
Practical timings and pre-show tips
Doors typically open ahead of the 8:00pm start; arriving 30 minutes early helps with parking, ticket pickup and finding seats without a rush. If you’re dining beforehand, account for Crescent traffic and resort navigation. Families should note that amplified sound and theatrical effects are part of the experience; ear protection for younger attendees is a sensible add-on. With two dates on consecutive nights, Sunday may be the quieter option if you prefer a more relaxed foyer and shorter bar queues.
Weather outlook and what to wear
The forecast for Sunday and Monday, 9–10 November, points to hazy sunshine with highs around 31°C and lows near 22°C. Dress for a warm transfer from car drop-off to the hotel doors, then add a light layer for the theatre’s cool air-conditioning. Comfortable shoes help for the short walk through the resort to the auditorium and for lingering in the foyer after curtain call.
Why this show is a good fit for Zabeel Theatre
Rolling Bones’ rock-opera profile benefits from an acoustically responsive, mid-sized room: 651 seats keep the energy of live drums and vocals immediate, while professional stage dimensions support band risers, multi-level platforms and moving lights. The location on Palm Jumeirah also turns the evening into a destination night out—pairable with resort dining and a waterfront stroll before or after the show.
