Cairo Opera Ensemble performs in Saudi Arabia

The Arabic Music Ensemble of Cairo Opera House, led by Gihan Samir, administrative-director of oriental music, which comprises 45 players and singers will be performing two concerts in Riyadh on 25 and 26 April. The ensemble is conducted by Mustafa Hemly, and will perform at Riyadh’s King Fahd Cultural Centre which accommodates 3,000 spectators. Officials at the Fahd Cultural Centre say that a number of giant screens will be placed outside the theatre so that more than 4,000 viewers who could not make it into the theatre could yet watch the performances.

The Egyptian ensemble arrived at Riyadh yesterday, where they were received by members of the Egyptian Embassy, staff of the culture ministry, and Saudi media. The musicians and singers have been given a warm welcome, and banners announcing the concerts hang everywhere in the Saudi capital.

For her part, Egypt’s Culture Minister Ines Abdel-Dayem has praised the newly minted cultural connection between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, pointing to the ability of soft power to combat forces of darkness.

Watani started as an Egyptian weekly Sunday newspaper published in Cairo. The word Watani is Arabic for “My Homeland”. The paper was founded in 1958 by the prominent Copt Antoun Sidhom (1915 – 1995), who strove for the establishment of a civil, democratic society in Egypt, where all Egyptians would enjoy full citizenship rights regardless of their religious denomination. To this day when Watani is published as a weekly paper and an online news site, the objective remains the same. Those in charge of Watani view this role as a patriotic all-Egyptian vocation. Special attention is given to shedding light on Coptic culture and tradition as authentically Egyptian, this being a topic largely disregarded or little-understood by Egypt’s media. Watani is deeply dedicated to offer its readers high quality, extensive, objective, credible and well-researched media coverage, with special focus on Coptic issues, culture, heritage, and contribution to Egyptian society.
