“We are all together in this place that has become a hub for gathering from all over the world. From here, and with the diversity of this celebration that we are living in Expo 2020 Dubai, we will send a message of humanity of all colors” mentioned Tania Kassis in her introduction word.

 

Her performance also included a selection of famous Christmas songs as well as “Buon Natale A Tutti Quanti”, sending her wishes in Italian, Spanish, French, Arabic and English to the audience of different nationalities.
