Step into a realm where musical artistry intertwines seamlessly with unparalleled elegance. Renowned across the globe, the prodigious pianist, Khatia Buniatishvili, graces the stage, setting the tone for an extraordinary evening.
Celebrating the illustrious career of Khatia Buniatishvili, a virtuoso with a trail of accolades, including prestigious awards and captivating performances in renowned concert halls worldwide. Her mesmerizing mastery of the piano has earned her a well-deserved place among the elite in the world of classical music. Khatia has performed at numerous festivals including the Hollywood Bowl, BBC Proms, Salzburg festival, Verbier Festival, as well as in the world’s greatest concert halls including them the Carnegie Hall (New York), Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles), Royal Festival Hall (London), Musikverein and Konzerthaus (Vienna), Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), Philharmonie (Berlin), Philharmonie and Théâtre des Champs-Élysées (Paris), Teatro alla Scala (Milan) and many more.
Amidst this celebration, witness the grand reveal of the Dubai Opera Edition by Steinway & Sons—an exclusive masterpiece paying homage not only to the iconic Dubai Opera but also to the unity of the seven emirates that constitute the United Arab Emirates.
Each piano, being a unique work of art, reflects the distinctive design elements of international concert halls, with elegant golden fittings and accents adorning the white or black high polish finishes. The iconic Arabesque pattern of the Dubai Opera graces the inner lid, while the music desk echoes the traditional shape of dhow sailing vessels. The legs and prop stick, with their organic form, draw inspiration from the whirling sand dunes of Dubai.
Immerse yourself in the magic of the evening, where Khatia Buniatishvili's virtuoso performance harmonizes with the unveiling of these extraordinary pianos. This symphony of talent and craftsmanship creates an unforgettable experience, transcending the ordinary.
