DUBAI: A new musical celebrating the life and career of music icon Dalida will premiere in Egypt this autumn, marking the 40th anniversary of the singer's death.
“Dalida: The Song That Never Ends” was unveiled at a press conference at the French Embassy in Cairo on Sunday, attended by French Ambassador Eric Chevalier, internationally acclaimed opera singer Farrah El-Dibany, director Khairy Beshara and writer Walid Khairy.
The Egypt-France co-production has been developed as part of the 2026 Mediterranean Season, a French-led cultural initiative designed to celebrate artistic collaboration and the shared heritage of Mediterranean countries.
The production will debut at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina on Oct. 31 before moving to Cairo for performances in November. The Alexandria premiere will also serve as the closing event of this year's Mediterranean Season.
