Israeli singer Daniella Gilboa, who was held captive by Hamas for 477 days before her release in January 2025, is scheduled to perform at the Sydney Opera House in Australia on October 25. The concert is part of a tour by the 22-year-old singer, who resumed her music career after being freed. Gilboa will be a featured artist in "Unbroken," a concert organized for the SHIR Australian Jewish Music Festival. She is expected to perform her debut song, "Where Everything Ends," which is dedicated to her experiences in captivity. The "Unbroken" concert will also feature Australian pianist Simon Tedeschi, violinist Ben Adler, cellist Rebekka Herman, and other musicians, blending Jewish and Israeli music with other traditions. Performers of Jewish, Indian, Iranian, and Christian backgrounds are included in the program. Gilboa was abducted by Hamas from the Nahal Oz military base on October 7, 2023, where she served as an observer. During her captivity, she was forced to participate in a staged video of her own death, intended for psychological warfare against Israel. Following her release on January 25, 2025, Gilboa underwent extensive rehabilitation before returning to music. In an interview with The Australian, she discussed her recovery and her desire to support Australia's Jewish community, which recently experienced a terror attack on Bondi Beach. The tour also includes a concert in Melbourne on October 22.
