Saudi Arabia’s Theatre and Performing Arts Commission has announced the production of ‘Zarqa Al Yamama’ – the first grand opera ever produced in the Kingdom and the largest Arabic grand opera ever staged.
The historic event is set to take place in Riyadh, commencing in April and running through early May.
Zarqa Al Yamama, inspired by a pre-Islamic Arabian legend, unfolds the compelling narrative of a woman from the Geddes tribe blessed with the gift of foresight.
