In photos: Pianist plays music in the air at Expo 2020 Dubai

Get ready for magical evenings at Expo 2020 Dubai, where a pianist puts on a gravity-defying performance. Flying Piano, the newest attraction at Expo, combines music and wonder, as the female pianist dressed in a white gown along with her white piano are slowly lifted up into the air.

Only 25-year-old pianist Eleanora Costantini and the piano are visible to the audience below, as the long trail of her gown hides the mystery of how she and the piano are elevated to a height of about five metres. The spectators watch from below in wonder as Costantini continues to play soothing music.

Costantini, a pianist and piano teacher from Venice, Italy, said she enjoys the flying piano performances, as they allow her to focus more on playing the music, rising above any distractions.

“These live shows represent a real connection between the musician and the audience. I started training for these flying shows about a year ago, and I find it really exciting,” she said.

Visitors can catch the Flying Piano shows at the Opportunity Pavilion Plaza until February.
