The Azizi Venice Opera House will also offer the space for other private events such as wedding ceremonies, private theatre productions and more. Additionally, visitors can also check out the Opera House Museum which will showcase how the performing arts centre was built.
Azizi Venice will also be home to a luxurious pedestrian-friendly boulevard which will have the ability to be open-air in the winter and glass-covered in the summer. It will be home to top retailers and brands, nightlife, and entertainment options, and plenty of eateries. The community will also be home to two five-star hotels plus one boutique hotel in the middle of the lagoon.
No completion date has been announced for this 3o billion dirham megaproject, but according to estimates, it can be ready anytime between 2025 and 2028.
