Giovanni Nehme Dubai-based opera and oriental singer.

Giovanni Nehme is a Dubai-based Lebanese singer whose artistry bridges two worlds: the grandeur of Western opera and the soulfulness of Oriental music. With a classically trained voice and deep roots in Arabic musical traditions, Giovanni has developed a unique style that seamlessly blends the dramatic power of opera with the ornamentation and emotion of Middle Eastern song.

His musical journey began with early exposure to classical performance, which led him to refine his vocal technique through opera arias, lieder, and sacred works. Over the years, Giovanni expanded his repertoire to embrace the richness of Oriental singing, exploring maqam scales and Arabic vocal traditions. This duality of East and West has become his signature, allowing him to perform across genres and captivate diverse audiences.

Giovanni’s performances have taken him to stages in the Middle East and Europe, including appearances at prestigious cultural festivals, concert halls, and private events. Whether interpreting Puccini, Verdi, or delivering an emotive tarab-inspired performance, he is celebrated for his ability to connect deeply with audiences through his expressive voice and stage presence.

In addition to live performance, Giovanni is active in Dubai’s vibrant music scene, collaborating with musicians, composers, and cultural institutions to promote cross-cultural understanding through music. His mission is to preserve tradition while innovating within it — introducing audiences to the beauty of opera while reminding them of the timeless power of Oriental music.

With his artistry, Giovanni Nehme stands as a cultural bridge, giving voice to both heritage and modernity, and affirming the universal language of music that unites us all.
