Umm Kulthum Tribute

Celebrated Star of the Orient, Umm Kulthum’s lifetime was distinguished by half a century of mesmerising melodies that have been canonised as Arabic classics. She had an extraordinary vocal range that stunned listeners during her lifetime and continues to move audiences of all generations with her raw passion. Celebrate the prolific career of this legendary songbird with Tunisian singer, Ghalia Benali, as she journeys down the repertoire of Umm Kulthum’s hits at Dubai Opera.

Singer extraordinaire Ghalia Benali is noted for her contribution to diverse genres and sounds. Her melodies are blended with notes of inspiration from legendary Middle Eastern and Arab artists, including Umm Kulthum herself. Catch Benali bring the icon back to life for one night only on 16 February, as she performs crowd-pleasers like “Al Atlal” and “Alf Leila w Leila”.
