Four Christmas concerts organized at Cairo, Alex. Opera House

CAIRO – 11 December 2017: Cairo and Alexandria Opera House organizes four Christmas and New Year's Eve Concerts that will be presented by Cairo Opera Company on December 13, 14 and 15 at the Main Hall.


The concerts are supervised by the company’s Technical Director Iman Moustafa and will be performed in collaboration with Cairo Symphony Orchestra led by Maestro Nayer Nagui.


The concerts will include a selection of celebrated Christmas songs and carols, in addition to the new songs, mostly arranged by Nagui.


For over a decade, Cairo Opera House has traditionally hosted its annual Christmas concerts as a joint effort combining the Cairo Opera Company soloists, an orchestra, and the Cairo Celebration Choir (CCC).


Since Nagui, the founder and conductor of the Cairo Celebration Choir, became the principal conductor and artistic director of the Cairo Opera Orchestra in 2011, the Christmas concerts became part of the Cairo Opera Orchestra's repertoire.


Cairo Opera Orchestra's repertoire has replaced the Cairo Symphony Orchestra which, prior to December 2012, had joined most of the previous Christmas evenings.
