Ministry of Sound Classical in Dubai

Experience iconic dance anthems reimagined with the power of a full orchestra

Presented by Dubai Opera in collaboration with Mac Global.

Dance anthems as you’ve never heard them before

Dance music meets the concert hall as Ministry of Sound Classical transforms iconic tracks from the 1990s and beyond for a 31-piece orchestra, bringing together classical musicians, vocalists, sound and light in a fresh take on the anthems that defined an era.

The production builds on the legacy of Ministry of Sound, the legendary London club that played a central role in the 1990s house scene before becoming one of the biggest global brands in dance music. In its classical format, familiar club favourites are given a new orchestral life, reworked and reimagined for the stage.

From Darude's "Sandstorm" and Dario G's "Sunchyme" to Faithless' "Insomnia" and Fatboy Slim's "Right Here, Right Now", the set brings together defining dance tracks from the 90s and beyond, alongside many more.

Ministry of Sound Classical has sold out the Royal Albert Hall and headlined festivals including Gone Wild Festival, The Big Feastival and Silverstone Festival, establishing the production as a distinctive live music experience.

Hear some of dance music's biggest anthems transformed by a full orchestra and experience Ministry of Sound Classical live.
