Want to be on point for Valentines Day?

Many a lavish date has followed the mould of drinks, dinner and a show, but this Valentine’s why not have it all? Share the entire evening with your Valentine as you relish in the starry night while drinking in the dance of celebrated performers in-between gourmet courses.

Whisk your Valentine to Dubai for Ballet Under the Stars

Mara Galeazzi

Desert Pam Dubai, a surprisingly luscious Polo Estate set outside the city walls is hosting a two-night ballet performance in partnership with The Covent Garden Dance Company on 15th and 16th February 2018.  Two of the world’s most celebrated ballerinas, Prima Ballerina Mara Galeazzi (Guest Principal at The Royal Ballet) and Gregory Dean, (Principal Dancer of The Royal Danish Ballet), are headlining the show.

While guests sample Desert Palm Dubai’s three-course gourmet dinner under the desert stars, Galeazzi and Dean will be performing four spectacular pas de deux from Manon in a classical style, alongside other world-class performers such as Stephen McRai, A Principal Royal Ballet dancer, Ksenia Ovsyanick, Principal Dancer at Berlin Staatsballett, and Zdenek Konvalina, International Guest Artist. The show blends classic and contemporary dances, with newly commissioned choreography to keep the ballet aficionados on their tippy toes.

Tearing your eyes from these mesmerising figures may be taxing but is highly recommended, for the Hotel is one of the few spots in Dubai that is peaceful and an Eden of green at that. From the 300-guest champagne reception to the gasps as world-famous ballerinas cut through the desert sky… your Valentine won’t forget this one.

Tickets for “Ballet Under The Stars” start from AED 750 (approx. £150) which includes a welcome champagne reception, three course dinner and a half bottle of wine. To purchase tickets, please contact [email protected] or visit here.
