DUBAI: German film composer Hans Zimmer is set for Abu Dhabi, bringing The Next Level tour to the Etihad Arena on Nov. 13 as the marquee night of the 23rd Abu Dhabi Festival.
The Academy Award and Grammy winner’s show reworks Zimmer’s best-known film scores into a full arena spectacle of orchestral and electronic sound.
Known for scores including “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” “Inception,” “Interstellar” and “Dune,” Zimmer has won two Oscars across a decades-long career.
The show will anchor an event that runs in the capital from Oct. 10 to Dec. 19 under the theme “The Wisdom of Culture,” which the festival frames as a celebration of the UAE as a platform for global dialogue.
The program brings together leading UAE cultural institutions, Emirati performers and international artists, spanning orchestral performances, jazz, ballet, dance and recitals at the capital’s landmark venues.
