اِنْطَلَقَتِ الدَّوْرَةُ السِّتُّونَ مِنْ مِهْرَجَانِ قَرْطَاجَ الدَّوْلِيِّ مَسَاءَ ١٦ يُولْيُوَ ٢٠٢٦َ، فِي الْمَسْرَحِ الرُّومَانِيِّ الْأَثَرِيِّ بِقَرْطَاجَ. وَافْتَتَحَ الْمُغَنِّي التُّونِسِيُّ صَابِرُ الرُّبَاعِيُّ الْمِهْرَجَانَ بِعَرْضِ «تَحْتَ الْيَاسَمِينِ». وَجَمَعَ الْعَرْضُ أَغَانِيَ مَعْرُوفَةً وَأَعْمَالًا جَدِيدَةً، كَمَا شَارَكَ فِيهِ فَنَّانُونَ تُونِسِيُّونَ مِنْ أَجْيَالٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ أَمَامَ جُمْهُورٍ كَبِيرٍ.

وَرَكَّزَ حَفْلُ الِافْتِتَاحِ عَلَى ذَاكِرَةِ الْأُغْنِيَةِ التُّونِسِيَّةِ وَنَقْلِ الْخِبْرَةِ بَيْنَ الْأَجْيَالِ. وَظَهَرَ لُطْفِي بُوشْنَاقٌ وَفَنَّانُونَ شَبَابٌ عَلَى الْمَسْرَحِ، بَيْنَمَا عَرَضَتِ الشَّاشَةُ صُوَرًا لِأَصْوَاتٍ رَاحِلَةٍ أَثَّرَتْ فِي الْمُوسِيقَى الْمَحَلِّيَّةِ. وَانْضَمَّ الْمُغَنِّي الْجَزَائِرِيُّ الشَّابُّ خَالِدٌ إِلَى الرُّبَاعِيِّ فِي وَصْلَةٍ جَمَعَتْ بَيْنَ أُغْنِيَتَيْنِ شَهِيرَتَيْنِ.

Carthage International Festival Opens Its 60th Edition

The 60th edition of the Carthage International Festival began on the evening of July 16, 2026, at Carthage’s ancient Roman theatre. Tunisian singer Saber Rebai opened the festival with a performance titled “Under the Jasmine.” The show combined well-known songs with new works and featured Tunisian artists from different generations before a large audience.

The opening concert focused on the memory of Tunisian song and the transfer of experience between generations. Lotfi Bouchnak and young artists appeared onstage, while the screen displayed images of late singers who influenced local music. Algerian singer Cheb Khaled joined Rebai in a segment that brought together two famous songs.

The festival continues until August 19, and its program includes twenty artistic evenings: nineteen musical concerts and one theatrical performance. The program brings together artists from Tunisia and other Arab, African, and European countries. Participants include Mayada El Hennawy, Tamer Ashour, Elissa, and Amina Fakhet. The Tunisian Symphony Orchestra presents “Symphonies 60” on July 22, and Majida El Roumi closes the edition with a concert on August 19.
