Acclaimed for his “captivating” performances (iHeartRadio), “pushing the boundaries of operatic music by integrating it with unconventional sounds from around the world” (BroadwayWorld), Amine is an international performer who fluently speaks four languages: Italian, French, English, and Arabic. He has performed across the globe at venues including Carnegie Hall, the United Nations, the Henry Ford Museum, the Basilica of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the MGM Grand Casino, the Bellagio Las Vegas, Broadway’s 54 Below, Birdland, the Waldorf Astoria, Gotham Hall, Chicago’s The Green Mill, Andrew W.

Before his cross-over to opera, Amine enjoyed a career in pop music for nine years. His 2004 television appearance on the LBCI prime time program “This is the Song” (with a viewership of more than 15 million people throughout the Arab world) solidified his presence as a well-known artist in the Middle East.

His opera and crossover concert selection include: operatic arias (from Donizetti to Verdi, Puccini, & Bizet, to name a few), Neapolitan songs, as well as Spanish, French, Brazilian and Russian folksongs, American Songbook, Jazz Standards, and Old Hollywood & Broadway masterpieces, all in new and fresh arrangements.

As lead tenor, Amine has performed in operas and musicals including La Traviata, Tosca, Carmen, La Bohème, I Lombardi Alla Prima Crociata, Mahler’s Symphony No. 8, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9, Rachmaninov’s All Night Vigil, Ravel’s L’heure espagnole, to Phantom of the Opera, Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Evita. He has appeared with international orchestras such as the Lebanese Philharmonic Orchestra and the Hellenic Symphony Orchestra. In the Middle East, Amine has sung for monarchs and heads of states and was praised as a “gift from God” (The Emigrant).

In 2009, he earned a vocal performance diploma from the Academy of Music and Theater in Munich, Germany Musikakademie München.
