Just a small notice,the Jenadriya operetta has been cancelled in an act of solidarity with the happenings in Syria.
Yes I heard! You think the King cancelled it because of the immense pressure from religious clerics to stop this "haram" or because of sincere solidarity?
My guess is the first case scenario.
Operetta is only on the opening day so actually it will not effect the festival itself.
From this article it seems Riyadh is a culturally active city.
Mumbai too has a cultural festival called the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival. It is a street cultural festival that runs from Feb 4 to 12. The festival has events such as plays, films, dances, music, visual art, heritage walks, literature, book releases, workshops, food events, children's events and much more.
Thank you very much for sharing information about all these events.
Does anyone know how late the janadria festival goes to, the hours during the day? I hope to try to attend.
Sarah-until midnight!
