On 29 April 2026, Dubai Opera will host the Dubai debut of acclaimed composer and performer Tony Ann, promising an evening that celebrates the emotional depth and expressive power of modern piano. Joined by special guest Arkai, Tony Ann blends classical foundations with contemporary sensibilities, moving seamlessly between introspective subtlety and expansive, emotive expression. Known globally through his viral #playthatword series and his EP trilogy Emotionally Blue, Orange, and Red, as well as his album 360, Tony has amassed over a billion views and hundreds of millions of streams worldwide, and co-written U.S. platinum singles with The Chainsmokers. Having captivated sold-out audiences at venues like Paris’s Olympia and London’s Barbican, this performance at Dubai Opera offers a rare opportunity to experience his innovative piano compositions live in an intimate setting.
