Rice Night at Riyadh Season: Ragheb, Carole, and Assi El Hallani
In an exceptional artistic event reflecting the depth of cultural and artistic ties in the Arab world, Riyadh Season officially announced, via its digital platforms, a grand musical evening entitled "Laylat al-Arz" (Night of the Cedars). This evening will bring together three of Lebanon's most prominent singing stars: superstar Ragheb Alama , the Knight of Arab Song Assi El Hallani , and the dazzling star Carole Samaha , in what promises to be one of the highlights of this year's season.
Date and location of Rice Night in Riyadh
This artistic celebration is scheduled to take place on February 5th at the Abu Bakr Salem Theater in Boulevard City. The Abu Bakr Salem Theater is one of the most prominent artistic landmarks in Saudi Arabia, having hosted a selection of leading international and Arab artists. It boasts world-class audio-visual equipment, guaranteeing an unforgettable audience experience.
Lebanese art giants in Saudi Arabia
This night gains its importance from the great artistic value of the participating stars, each of whom has a long history of success:
- Ragheb Alama: He enjoys a wide fan base in the Kingdom and the Gulf, and his songs blend romance with modern rhythm, which ensures great interaction with the audience.
- Assi El Hallani: He represents the mountain style and authentic Lebanese folklore, and is expected to ignite the stage with Dabke songs and Mawwals that the Saudi audience loves.
- Carole Samaha: Known for her commanding stage presence and powerful voice, she presents a mix of melodic, dramatic, and showy songs.
The symbolism of "Rice Night" and its cultural dimensions
The choice of the name "Night of the Cedars" by the General Entertainment Authority, headed by Advisor Turki Al-Sheikh, carries profound significance; the cedar is Lebanon's enduring symbol and national emblem. Dedicating an entire night to Lebanese art within Riyadh Season underscores the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's role as a hub for Arab art and a center of cultural influence in the region. This initiative promotes cultural exchange and offers Riyadh audiences the opportunity to enjoy the diversity of Arab music.
Riyadh Season: A Global Entertainment Destination
This concert comes amidst the continued success of Riyadh Season, which has become a landmark in the Middle East's entertainment industry. Since its inception, the season has attracted millions of visitors from within the Kingdom and abroad, directly contributing to the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 related to economic diversification and the enhancement of the tourism and entertainment sector. The season's events are not limited to concerts; they also include theatrical performances, international experiences, and sporting events, making it a comprehensive destination for the whole family.
Tickets for "Laylat Al-Arz" are expected to be in high demand as soon as they are released, given the overwhelming popularity of the three stars and the public's thirst for such major artistic gatherings that bring back memories of the good old days with a dazzling modern touch.
