The luxury hotel's New Year's Eve packages include an overnight stay at the hotel, an indulgent dinner, the coveted concert tickets and an exclusive invite to the after-party — making it the ultimate way to kick off the year in style.

Promising an unforgettable evening of world-class entertainment, Andrea Bocelli will belt out his best known classics like O Sole Mio and Con Te Partirò / Time To Say Goodbye, outdoors on the Palace Terrace. The memorable performance will be followed by a dazzling fireworks display lighting up the city skyline over the Corniche, with the celebrations undoubtedly running until the early hours.

Before the performance, guests can pick to dine in one of the hotel's numerous restaurants, whether choosing to continue the Michelin-starred, authentic Italian experience at Talea or discovering Abu Dhabi’s newest Japanese concept at Strawfire by Ross Shonhan.

Other options include Cantonese flavours at Hakkasan, innovative Indian fare at Martabaan by Hemant Oberoi, Levantine cuisine from Lebanese Terrace, international favourites at Vendôme, elevated comfort food at Broadway or open-fire cooking on the beach at Sand & Koal.

A globally celebrated artist, Andrea Bocelli has earned numerous accolades including six Grammy Award nominations, six Latin Grammy Award nominations, a Golden Globe, seven Classical BRITs, and seven World Music Awards.

This performance will mark the opera singer's seventh time performing in the UAE, in addition to a recent concert in Saudi's AlUla, returning to the Emirates Palace Mandarin Oriental where he made his debut in 2009.

Bocelli's career is filled with unforgettable performances, including his iconic renditions of Time to Say Goodbye and the Nessun Dorma aria, as well as his collaborations with global music stars like Celine Dion, Ed Sheeran and Ellie Goulding.

The 66-year-old, who has more than three million Instagram followers, also graced the big screen with a performance in the film The Music of Silence — a biographical drama about his life.
