November has been a good month for classical music lovers in the UAE.<\/p>\n

In addition to concerts by the Netherlands’ famous\u00a0Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra<\/a>\u00a0and the Lebanese Symphony Orchestra at Emirates Palace, Dubai Opera hosted the\u00a0Dresden Opera Ball<\/a>, featuring Spanish tenor Placido Domingo.<\/p>\n

One artist who has helped to boost the popularity of the genre in the UAE is\u00a0Andrea Bocelli<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Italian tenor, who will be performing at Etihad Park in Abu Dhabi on Thursday, was one of the first to showcase classical music’s potential to the capital when, in 2009, 11,000 people attended his debut concert at Emirates Palace. Large-scale promoters soon took note and artists\u00a0Jose Carreras<\/a>,\u00a0Sarah Brightman<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Il Divo<\/a>\u00a0all being booked to perform in the UAE in subsequent years.<\/p>\n
