A night of fine dining and orchestral splendour

The St. Regis Doha, in collaboration with the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra, is proud to host The Midnight Supper on January 16th , 2025. This exceptional event will bring together fine dining, live orchestral music, and the company of Doha’s elite to ring in the New Year with unmatched sophistication and style.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic gatherings of Caroline Astor, mother of St. Regis founder John Jacob Astor IV, The Midnight Supper pays homage to the opulence of the Gilded Age, a time of extraordinary wealth and transformation in America. Guests will be transported into a world of grandeur as the opulently adorned Grand Ballroom is transformed into a stunning stage for this one-of-a-kind evening.
The culinary experience will be nothing short of extraordinary. Renowned chefs from Hakkasan, Scalini, Novikov, and Fauchon have curated an exquisite menu that includes delicacies such as king crab with caviar, black cod with truffle, and Wagyu short rib. This gastronomic journey is designed to tantalise the senses and elevate the evening to new heights.
The night will be further enriched by a captivating musical performance from the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra under the masterful direction of conductor Elias Grandy. Featuring the incredible talents of soprano Julia Koci and tenor Lucian Kraznec, the orchestra, composed of 70 skilled musicians, will perform timeless masterpieces by celebrated composers such as Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Puccini, Bizet, Verdi, and Rossini. The carefully curated repertoire, led by QPO Executive Director Kurt Meister, promises an evening of operatic and orchestral brilliance.
As a final touch of elegance, internationally acclaimed ballet dancer Ildar Young-Gaynutdino will grace the stage with a dazzling performance, ensuring the evening concludes on a high note of artistic mastery and poise.
“The St. Regis Midnight Supper is more than a luxury event. It’s a legacy, a tradition celebrated annually at St. Regis properties worldwide. In Doha, we are honoured to launch this exquisite experience, a celebration of refined tastes that resonates with the city’s most esteemed clientele. The Midnight Supper will be a defining moment in Doha’s social calendar, reflecting the sophistication and vibrant spirit that defines this remarkable city,” said Marc Matar, multi-property general manager of The St. Regis Doha and St. Regis Marsa Arabia Island, The Pearl – Qatar.
