The festive season in Abu Dhabi is set to become even more magical this December as Disney+ Live In Concert makes its UAE debut at Etihad Arena, Yas Island. Bringing together the wonder of cinema with the power of a live orchestra, the three-day concert series promises an unforgettable experience for Disney fans of all ages.
From 18 to 20 December 2026, audiences can enjoy four beloved films from Disney+ on the big screen, accompanied live by the internationally acclaimed Armenian State Symphony Orchestra. Whether you grew up singing along to The Lion King, Frozen or Encanto, or consider Home Alone 2 an annual festive tradition, this is a unique way to experience these timeless classics.
Four Iconic Films, One Magical Weekend
Specially curated for audiences in the UAE, Disney+ Live In Concert combines full-length film screenings with live orchestral performances, where every note is performed in perfect synchronisation with the movie on screen.
The programme includes four much-loved favourites:
