Dubai Opera music event reveals superstar line-up

DUBAI, October 18, 2016

White Nights in Dubai, the first ever musical festival of its kind in the Middle East, has revealed a line-up of  the biggest stars from the world of music who will take part in the event set to run from March 30 to April 8 at Dubai Opera.

Celebrities include Katherine Jenkins, Alfie Boe, Jonas Kaufmann, Angela Gheorghiu, Jamie Cullum, David Garrett, and Khatia Buniatishvili, a statement said.

White Nights in Dubai, supported by Dubai's Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM), is the first ever project of United Stage Middle East, a subsidiary of United Stage AB, Sweden's biggest booking agency. The company has been in the music business for over 30 years and expanded to London in 2015 and to the Middle East in 2016 with a view to expand their reach internationally.

"We are hoping that by bringing these world-class talents, we also attract guests both locally and internationally; and contribute to the overall growth of the vibrant and diverse arts and cultural environment of the Middle East region," said Brian Lane, CEO of United Stage International, who across his career has managed artists as diverse as Katherine Jenkins, a-Ha, It Bites, the A*Teens, Heather Small, YES, Vangelis, Asia, and Rick Wakeman that altogether have sold in excess of 120 million records.  

Ahlam Bolooki, senior manager, Events Marketing at Dubai Tourism said: "We are delighted with the announcement that White Nights in Dubai will be hosting some of the most globally recognised artists of the world of classical and jazz music in the emirate at Dubai Opera next year.

“Hosting Welsh superstar Katherine Jenkins and jazz and pop sensation, Jamie Cullum amongst other talents, plays a key role in strengthening Dubai's position as a regional arts and culture hub as well as solidifying our standing as a global events and festivals destination."

Tickets are being sold from October 12 on the Dubai Opera website, the statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
