The construction work at Al Majaz Amphitheatre – which will stage the oratorio ‘Clusters of Light’ on 26 March – has exceeded 90% completion.
The cost of the theatre and bridge leading to it exceeded AED 140 million. The theatre will showcase more than 400 animated lights, 120 sound speakers, and 21 projectors creating a unique effect. The outdoor venue, built over an area of 7,238 square meters, emulates an ancient Roman theatre.
Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qassimi, chairman of Sharjah Media Centre and chairman of the Executive Committee for the Sharjah Capital of Islamic Culture 2014 Celebrations, said: “The varied facilities include VIP conference rooms, galleries, and number of shops, restaurants and green spaces. The venue can accommodate up to 4500 visitors and aims to ensure Al Majaz Island remains a prominent tourism site, as well as providing an ideal venue for future artistic, cultural and tourism movements in the UAE in general and Sharjah in particular.”
