Ludovico Einaudi

After sold-out performances at Dubai Opera in 2018, 2019, and 2023, the Italian composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi – one of the best-selling classical artists of all time – is back in Dubai for a three-night stint.

Born in Turin, he trained at the Milan Conservatorio, studied under Luciano Berio, and worked as an assistant to Karlheinz Stockhausen for a while. He started out composing fairly traditional chamber and orchestral music before turning his hand to film music, writing scores for films, including This is England and I’m Still Here; but he hit stardom with his solo albums, many of the pieces from them have become famous as stand-alone songs – like Nuvole Bianche, currently clocking well over 14 million streams.

He performs again on 20 and 21 January.
