Singer Sami Yusuf, who is performing in Dubai for the first time on December 16 at the Dubai Opera, is offering fans a chance to sing with him on stage.

Yusuf, who will premiere a song named Glorification, inspired by the poetry of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, is looking for fans to perform the song with him.

All you have to do is register at samiyusufofficial.com/audition before December 5.

Yusuf released his eighth album, Barakah, at Mall of the Emirates, two months ago and spoke extensively to Gulf News tabloid! about the relevance of his music in today’s turbulent times.

“Sami Yusuf’s music transcends nations, his beautiful songs and his inclusion of traditional instruments captivate listeners and create a truly unique sound which we cannot wait to hear live in Dubai Opera’s phenomenal acoustic,” said the Opera’s chief executive Jasper Hope.

Tickets, starting at Dh350, are available on dubaiopera.com.
