The Rundown, The (Two) Musketeas (Group 4): Ep. 5, Business and Health

On October 28, 1971, a century-old rich operatic history was tragically destroyed with the burning of the grand Khedivial Royal Opera House, also known as the old Cairo Opera House, which housed many artistic and creative institutions that contributed greatly to the golden era of Egyptian arts [music and cinema]. A new Opera House was opened in 1988, but those who stepped foot in the old opera – albeit as performers, patrons, composers, directors, and/or workers – will never forget the magic and history that was largely lost with it.

This is a derivative work of my audio feature titled "The Musical Magic and Scorched Legacy of Cairo’s Khedivial Royal Opera House" (https://soundcloud.com/emen1125/the-musical-magic-and-scorched-legacy-of-cairos-khedivial-royal-opera-house). Both pieces seek to add to scholarship on the Opera House’s significance, as well as contribute to what little audiovisual records remain that tell of the story of this much loved monument that only lives on in people’s memories. While the focus was on the history in the first part, this part seeks to emphasize the impact the burning had in more detail and also zero in on the day itself.
