The Al Wasl Opera book sheds light on the process of developing an opera while focusing on the Expo 2020 commission and its evolution over the last five years, while also highlighting the history of opera and its legacy in the Arab world.
Over three acts (or chapters), the book introduces the readers to the Al Wasl Opera, its composer, Mohammed Fairouz, co-author, Maha Gargash, stage director, Sir David Pountney, and the various behind-the-scenes processes that helped bring Al Wasl on stage.
The Al Wasl Opera will tell an Emirati story celebrating the UAE’s rich cultural heritage, its numerous achievements to date as well as the country’s aspirations for the future. It will be a powerful statement about artistic development in Dubai while being a major event of international significance. It will also contribute to the UAE’s global positioning, cultural heritage and legacy.
