Following a critically acclaimed, sold-out run in London’s West End, Tango After Dark—the internationally celebrated dance spectacle—makes its much-anticipated debut at Dubai Opera on April 26 and 27. Under the artistic direction of the world-renowned tango virtuoso Germán Cornejo and featuring World Tango Champion Gisela Galeassi, this electrifying production transports audiences to the soul of Buenos Aires, where tango is more than a dance—it is a way of life.
A Masterpiece of Movement and Music
Tang After Dark is a breathtaking celebration of Argentine tango in its purest and most dynamic form. Seamlessly blending tradition with innovation, the production features a stellar ensemble of ten world-class tango dancers, two of Argentina’s most distinguished vocalists, and a live orchestra of seven masterful musicians performing the evocative compositions of legendary composer and bandoneónist Astor Piazzolla. The show’s sultry, intricately crafted choreography embodies the tension, elegance, and raw intensity of tango, capturing its evolution from the salons of Buenos Aires to the grand stages of the world.
A feast for the senses, Tango After Dark is enhanced by stunningly designed costumes that heighten the passion of each movement, immersing audiences in a world where every step tells a story of love, longing, and unbreakable connection.
Dubai Opera Welcomes a Global Sensation
