Earlier this morning, Andrea Bocelli performed at the opening of the Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Centre. If this is the first you hear about it you’re not alone since the opening was only officially announced yesterday (I announced it two months ago). Now that the centre is open I figured I’d share a list of upcoming events that will be taking place there, but the only problem is, a list doesn’t exist yet.
The whole project has been shrouded in secrecy since the start. When I broke information on the Cultural Centre back in 2014, barely anyone knew about the project other than those involved in it. Now two years later the project is completed but everything is still a big secret and I can’t understand why.
Usually I wouldn’t care but this is such a great and beautiful project that it’s a shame it didn’t get so much more publicity. Hopefully things will be less secretive moving forward but for now, here are links to the cultural centre website and social media accounts.

I’ll also take this opportunity to thank all my sources who for the past two years have been feeding me as much information as they could on this project so I could share it with you guys. It’s because of them I’ve been able to write and share so much on the cultural centre and allowing me visit the site and take photos.
Here is a roundup of all my previous posts on the project:

Hi Mark,
Do you know how I can get the contact information of anyone in their commercial/retail leasing center to inquire about any availability?
Don’t have any contact
Just go there and ask
What are the hours?🤔
Andrea Bocelli?! I love him. Dangit. This place definitely deserves more publicity. I’m excited to see in person. It looks stunning.
Either way it was invite only, you couldn’t buy tickets to it which is probably why they didn’t advertise it. They did put it on TV though.
So is it like worth visiting now or like should we wait few months for things to start going, I mean only reason I knew about this project cause I live next to it , didn’t know there was even a announcement of opening :0
do we really need another food court?
seriously? a bunch of restaurants are out there !!! WHYYYY?
and they are not even fancy that suits the OPERA!
