I must write to say how much I enjoyed Crazy Opera at the Bahrain National Theatre.
Created by Lebanese soprano Samar Salamé it really was crazy in all the right ways. It was a unique opera concept that relied on music and atmosphere rather than traditional operatic arias and really worked with the sell-out crowd.
For those who missed it, Crazy Opera combined classic opera with Arabic beats, and elements of music, dance and choir. Amazing.
Theatre fan, Saar.

This Year, Think Pink Bahrain are gearing up for the 9th year, taking a new approach to increasing awareness about breast cancer prevention.
We aim to reach out to men to support and encourage the women in their lives, so that the issue is tackled together and not in isolation.
October, the internationally-recognised month for breast cancer and as every year, we have collaborated with businesses and organisations to organise events aimed to raise awareness and funds, which will be directed to education.
Should anyone of your colleagues, family or friends want to purchase tickets to next Wednesday evening’s British Embassy Pink Garden Party, they could contact my fellow teammate, Dee, by texting her on 38803329, tickets can be collected by meet-ups at Bodyline.
The tickets are also available at The British Club, Rugby Club and Dilmun Club. CPR/Passport numbers are required.
