Building a World-class Performing Arts Institution

The Middle East, particularly the GCC states, is increasingly investing in cultural and creative industries, recognizing their potential for social and economic impact. Recently, there has been a remarkable surge of interest in the performing arts across the region. However, advancing the performing arts sector requires addressing key challenges, with the establishment of world-class institutions as a top priority. Developing such institutions requires a strategic approach that focuses on answering critical questions about infrastructure, talent development, and sustainable funding models. These efforts will be essential to positioning the region as a global leader in the performing arts.
