The UAE’s highest peak will come alive with the sound of music
“city of mirrors” is coming to Ras Al Khaimah next month. The show, Vivaldianno – The City of Mirrors, has been devised by award-winning Czech musician and film composer Michal Dvořák and aims to take music to new heights at Jebel Jais mountain, where it will be performed.
THE MOUNTAINS OF RAS AL KHAIMAH
The UAE’s tallest peak will transform into a concert venue 1600 metres above sea level for one night only, on October 27 2017. The show will combine the compositions of legendary violinist Antonio Vivaldi with complex 3D visual effects and light shows illuminating Jebel Jais. A specially constructed stage will bear the weight of an entire orchestra, which will play both classical and art-rock pieces, including masterpieces such as The Four Seasons. A cast of world-renowned musicians will be accompanied by complex imagery and choreography, making for a show that will combine the old and the new.

Composer Dvořák explains: “We’re retaining the original score while adding modern instruments the way Antonio himself might have included them.”

“We strive to push the boundaries in our efforts to enhance Ras Al Khaimah’s visitor experience,” says Haitham Mattar, CEO of RAKTDA, “and this latest event is not only a first for the UAE, it will also provide genuine sensory overload at one of the emirate’s most iconic landmarks.”
