Radio Cairo
The National Opera, Meervaart & AAO (2024)
'Radio Cairo' is a production of The National Opera, Meervaart, and the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra.
Radio Cairo was a special collaboration between The National Opera, Meervaart, and the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, which took the audience to the golden age of Cairo. The program offered a unique mix of music, stories, snacks, and board games, with live radio, anecdotes about Arab culture, and jazz-inspired conversations. In the evening, it concluded with a storytelling concert and a party, where artists and the audience together relived the atmosphere of the iconic Arab café.
