Across centuries and cultures, the words of Rumi have endured. Now, the critically acclaimed West End production Rumi: The Musical arrives at Dubai Opera, bringing his story to life on stage.
Created by Dana Al Fardan and Nadim Naaman, the Middle Eastern duo behind the successful musical Broken Wings, this epic production follows Rumi’s transformation from respected scholar to timeless philosopher and poet, shaped by love, loss and spiritual awakening.
Central to the story is his bond with Shams, a relationship that profoundly altered his family life and inner world, leaving a legacy that has transcended borders, faiths and generations for more than eight centuries.
The music draws from Rumi’s poetry, weaving Middle Eastern sonorities with classical influences and musical theatre traditions. Visually arresting and deeply moving, the production honours the enduring power of art and spiritual expression.
