The first-ever Saadiyat Nights, a three-month open-air musical event series, is set to take place on Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Island from January 6, featuring an array of global award-winning artists such as Mariah Carey, GooGoosh and Andrea Bocelli.

The specially constructed open-air venue will showcase a stunning backdrop of Saadiyat Island vistas, combining the musical talent onstage and the views of the island’s cultural institutions.

Mariah Carey, the five-time Grammy Award-winning superstar, who will kick off Saadiyat Nights events, will bring her five-octave vocal range and decades-long back catalogue of number one hits to the emirate.

GooGoosh, one of Iran’s iconic performers, will take to the stage on January 20 to wow audiences with a stunning catalogue of songs spanning six decades of success – billed as her last tour, this will be the final chance for fans to hear their favourite tracks performed live.

The beloved Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli will perform on January 27 with passionate favourites from his repertoire.

More performers, including Arab superstars, will be announced in the coming weeks, the organiser said. Tickets are available for booking. – TradeArabia News Service
