Middle-earth is heading to the stage as the Ukrainian Symphonic Orchestra performs Howard Shore’s legendary score at Zabeel Theatre.
Dubai is about to trade its skyline for Middle-earth. On 6 January 2026, Zabeel Theatre at Jumeirah Zabeel Saray will host an epic evening of live orchestral music as the Ukrainian Symphonic Orchestra brings a Lord of the Rings orchestral concert to Dubai, performing Howard Shore’s iconic soundtrack from The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Set across a two-hour concert, this symphonic showcase promises a journey through the films’ most recognisable musical moments. Expect the warmth and whimsy of Shire melodies, the luminous themes of Rivendell, and the darker, thunderous tension that signals Mordor. Whether you first discovered the trilogy in the cinema or you have the extended editions permanently bookmarked, this is the kind of night that invites full immersion.
Adding to the scale, the orchestra will be joined by backing vocals from a full choir, elevating the score’s soaring choral passages and cinematic crescendos. Shore’s music is famously rich in detail, shifting from tender, pastoral themes to sweeping, battle-ready grandeur, and the live format lets every mood change land with extra weight. From cheerful hobbit harmonies to ominous percussive undercurrents, the programme is designed to move through the emotional arc of the entire trilogy.
The event is open to all ages, making it a rare, family-friendly night out that still feels spectacularly grown-up in its production value. Tickets are available now, with prices starting from AED 350.
If you have ever wanted to step inside the sound of Middle-earth, this is your cue. Tickets for the Lord of the Rings orchestral concert in Dubai are on sale now, starting from AED 350.
