Aladdin and the Magic Lamp – cirque show is set to enthrall Qatar residents and visitors for three days from Thursday at Lusail Multipurpose Hall, as part of Qatar Tourism’s ‘Summer in Qatar’ campaign in collaboration with Qatar Airways and Ooredoo.
A team of about 35 performers will bring to the renowned and award-winning show from ‘A Thousand and One Nights’, a collection of Middle Eastern folktales, and wowed audiences around the world.
Thursday's show is at 5pm. Friday's shows are at 3pm and 7pm. On Saturday, the performances will be at 1pm and 5pm.
The popular show tells the adventures of Aladdin, a kindhearted poor person who found a magical lamp and wished to become a prince in order for him to meet and marry Princess Jasmine. Renowned artist and stage designer Lev Bakst took part in Aladdin’s first stage performance, held in Paris 100 years back.
The show is expected to attract a huge number of local and international spectators, including those from neighbouring GCC countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Aladdin follows the first Summer in Qatar cirque show, ‘Alice in Wonderland’, which enthralled audiences for three consecutive days with a combination of musical theatre and modern ballet, in addition to a spectacular circus and acrobatic performances.
According to the organisers, children below two can enter the show for free. Doors to the reception area will be open around 60 minutes before the show starts. The venue (former Lusail Handball Stadium) can accommodate some 1,390 guests. Wearing of face masks will be mandatory.
As part of the Summer in Qatar campaign, hotels across the country are offering promotional packages, which include stays with dining, spa, and other selections while tour operators provide a diverse range of activities for guests such as scuba diving, stand-up paddle boarding, and kayaking, among other unique and curated experiences.
According to Qatar Tourism, its latest campaign in the summer will feature 15 popular shows and packages.
