Hiba Tawaji & Oussama Rahbani to Perform at Dubai Opera September 6th
Lebanese singer Hiba Tawaji will perform alongside long-time collaborator Oussama Rahbani in a special Dubai Opera concert. May 08, 2025 Lebanese vocalist and actress Hiba Tawaji will take the stage at Dubai Opera on Saturday, September 6th, for a concert highlighting her long-standing collaboration with composer and producer Oussama Rahbani. Known for seamlessly blending Arabic and Western influences, Tawaji will revisit some of her most celebrated songs, including 'Baad Sneen', 'Min Li Byekhtar', 'Yemken Habaytak', and 'Savoir Amer'. Her wide-ranging repertoire spans theatrical ballads, contemporary Arabic pop, and reinterpretations of classic Lebanese works, all shaped by Rahbani's distinct musical direction. Tawaji rose to international prominence after competing in The Voice France, where she reached the semi-finals under Mika's mentorship. Since then, she has built a global career performing on major stages, including the prestigious Baalbeck International Festival, and releasing music through Universal Music Arabia. The Dubai performance continues her ongoing partnership with Rahbani, a key figure in modernising the Rahbani musical legacy while fostering fresh interpretations of Lebanese and regional music. Ticketing information has yet to be announced, but further details will be made available on PlatinumList's official platform closer to the concert date.
