After a speech by French President Emmanuel Macron and the presence of around 50 world leaders, Tawaji will share the stage with sopranos Pretty Yende and Julie Fuchs, Chinese pianist Lang Lang, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and Grammy award-winning singer Angelique Kidjo.

A symbol of French cultural heritage, the 850-year-old cathedral will reopen after more than five years of reconstruction following the fire that tore through the Cathedral on 15 April 2019.

The fire, which started in the attic of the cathedral, caused the iconic spire to collapse and caused significant damage to the roof and interior of the building. 

The incident sparked an outpouring of support and donations from around the world to aid in the restoration efforts of this historic monument.

Tawaji, 36, gained fame in 2015 when she participated in the fourth season of France's version of The Voice. 

With over 120 performances to her name throughout the Arab world and beyond, Tawaji was the first female singer to ever perform publicly in Saudi Arabia in 2017.

The singer, actress and director released several albums including Baad Sneen (2023), Hiba Tawaji 30 (2017), Christmas album Hallelujah (2017), Ya Habibi (2014), and La Bidayi wala Nihayi (2011).
