SCHEHERAZADE

It’s a grand-scale musical production of the classic tale of love, intrigue, and adventure, produced by Ornina Arts Events and directed by the legendary Nasser Ibrahim. The bare-bones plot of this legendary tale, which encompasses a compendium of Arabian literature of the Middle Ages, is based on Sultan Shahryar, who is convinced of the duplicity of women and vows to slay each of his wives after the first night. Scheherazade, however, saves her life by recounting a succession of tales over a period of 1,001 nights. Overcome by curiosity, the monarch postpones her execution from day to day, and finally renounces his resolution. It’s a dose of beauty and innovative creativity with the purpose of bringing joy to audience of all ages.
