La Perle

If you’re a fan of amazing acrobatics, state-of-the-art technology and awe-inspiring action, then you’ll want to book a seat at La Perle. Located in Al Habtoor City, it is Dubai’s first permanent live show, staging an impressive 450 performances a year.

All the action takes place inside a 1,300-seat theatre, which has been tailor-made to provide an immersive experience. This is achieved thanks to 3D projections throughout the theatre and a 360-degree surround sound system. A high-tech ‘aqua-stage’ is filled with 2.7 million litres of water and can transform to a dry platform in less than a minute. 

What to expect at La Perle, Dubai's must-see show

You’ll be on the edge of your seat watching the cast of talented artists perform breathtaking feats. From diving into the water from a height of 18 metres to flying around the auditorium on high-powered winches – it promises to be nothing short of amazing.

Inspired by Dubai's rich cultural heritage, and created by the world-famous artistic director Franco Dragone, the show features a cast of multi-talented artists performing a variety of acrobatic, aquatic and aerial stunts.

La Perle show timings, duration and ticket prices

Shows are held each week from Wednesday to Sunday, with two performances a night at 6:30pm and 9pm. Each show lasts for 90 minutes – but be prepared for time to fly, as you witness the performers diving, flying and moving at lightning speed.
