Egyptian poet and screenwriter Medhat al Adel has finished writing the lyrics of a new operetta entitled al Tariq Ela al Quds (The Road to Jerusalem) which describes the massacres committed by the Israeli soldiers against the Palestinian people.
“Musician Salah al Sharnoubi is currently composing the music for the new operetta which will be performed by a number of song stars in the Arab world. The artwork will be similar to the two operettas, al Hulm al Arabi (The Arab Dream) and al Quds Hatergaa Lina (We will Restore Jerusalem),” al Adel told the London-based daily al Sharq al Awsat.
He added that till now, he has the approval of a large number of Arab singers to participate in “the musical epic”, and all of them have denoted their salaries to the Palestinian people. Among the participants are, Hani Shaker, Angham, Ehab Tawfiq and Nadia Mustafa (from Egypt), Syrian singer Assala Nassri and Samira Saaid from Morocco.
“The operetta celebrates the Palestinian people’s resistance of the Israeli savage aggressions, and their heroic spirit which is the beginning of liberating Jerusalem,” said al Adel – Albawaba.com
