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 piece seeks 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.

This audio feature was produced during the Spring 2021 semester for my Audio Production course taught by Professor Kim Fox.
