The multi-award-winning Australian singer-songwriter will perform live at the Dubai Opera on Saturday, August 23, 2025, as part of the venue’s prestigious Summer Concert Series.
The concert will be a journey through Imbruglia’s celebrated career, from her breakthrough 1997 album Left of the Middle—which gave the world the unforgettable hit “Torn”—to her more recent critically acclaimed projects. Known for her rich, emotive vocals and heartfelt storytelling, she will deliver a setlist that blends fan favourites, deep cuts, and fresh arrangements.
