KALÎLA WA DIMNA
Festival d'Aix en Provence
United Kingdom
http://www.festival-aix.com/en
It is written that little drops sweat on the forehead
of the word,
And this word changes people's dreams in blue
ink spread on sheets.
It is written that the one who loves his homeland
will give some protecting warmth to his children.
Fady Jomar et Catherine Verlaguet, Kalîla wa Dimna, scene 9 (2016)
“Tell me the story of those two men whose friendship, shattered by a treacherous liar, was transformed into hostility and hatred”, said the King of India to the prince of philosophers responsible for teaching him to reign. Thus begins one of the chapters of this great classic of Arabic literature, The Book of Kalila and Dimna, written by Ibn al-Muqaffa' in the eighth century, based on an ancient collection of animal tales from far-away India. In a reworking of the fable of the Lion, whose friendship with the Ox is maligned by the ambitious Jackal, this world premiere opera by Moneim Adwan treads a fine line between the human and the animal, fable and tragedy, Arabic and French, Western form and Eastern music, to tell the story of idealism crushed by ambition. In a staging by Olivier Letellier, the Festival d’Aix will be introducing this opera form that showcases all the musicality of the Arabic language.
ON 1, 10 AND 17 JULY AT 5:00PM
ON 2, 6, 8, 12 AND 16 JULY AT 8:00PM
Moneim Adwan : KALÎLA WA DIMNA

Performed by singers and repetiteurs from the first year of the Guildhall Opera Course, this term’s Scenes feature three exciting new works written by composers and librettists on the School’s MA in Opera Making & Writing programme. This innovative programme delivered in association with the Royal Opera House enables writers and composers to write specifically for the singers, and to develop the pieces with them.
The new operas will be performed with a small orchestral ensemble, and will be linked by scenes from existing opera repertoire performed with piano accompaniment.
