A voice that fills the place... Hiba Tawaji transforms Baalbek into a living legend.

In a scene that combined the fragrance of history with the magic of art, the ancient Baalbek Citadel was transformed into an open-air theater under the moonlight, celebrating the centenary of the great musician Mansour Rahbani, honoring his immortal artistic legacy and paying tribute to his genius son, Ziad Rahbani. The evening, attended by an audience of music and culture lovers, was a vivid portrait of Lebanon's renewed artistic spirit.

A magical festive atmosphere with the tunes of the Rahbani brothers

The evening was performed by composer and musician Osama Rahbani, and featured Hiba Tawaji's melodious voice from among the towering columns of Baalbek, accompanied by French star Ycare and international trumpeter Ibrahim Maalouf. Three-dimensional lighting shows and choreographed tableaux added a dazzling visual dimension, blending past and present, revealing Lebanon's radiant artistic side.

Royal white inspired by civilizations

Heba opened the event in a dazzling white gown by world-renowned Lebanese designer Nicolas Jebran, embellished with gold and bronze crystal embroidery inspired by the surrounding Roman columns. The long, halter-neck gown gave her a regal presence, complemented by a tiara designed by Caroline Chammas for Aura, gold accessories, and white high heels, completing the look with a sophisticated, historical touch.

Bright red lights up the stage

For her second look, Heba dazzled in a blood-red Nicolas Jebran gown, studded with red rhinestones that dazzled the stage lights. The design exuded elegant fluidity with a V-neckline and a zamzama detail that accentuated the figure, while its movement to the music lent a sense of dramatic emotion. The look was completed with white gold diamond jewelry and red sandals with a towering heel.

Aesthetics complement the artistic presence

Ranzi Zgheib gave Hiba a loose, natural-waved hairstyle that added a spontaneous movement to every look, while makeup artist Maya Yammine opted for a warm bronze makeup look, focusing on the eyes with a thin line of eyeliner, along with light beige lips and a light highlighter, creating a balance between strength and delicacy.

A night of art and fashion in the heart of history

To the sounds of timeless melodies and Hiba's warm voice, the audience experienced a night where art and fashion united, as the stage seemed to tell the story of Lebanon, whose charm never fades, from the columns of Baalbek to the generations who carry the banner of creativity.
