    Rostam & Sohrab Opera ready for stage

    IranMania, Iran
    Nov 22 2004

    LONDON, Nov 22 (IranMania) - The Opera 'Rostam and Sohrab' directed
    by Behrouz Gharibpour will go on stage in January.

    According to Mehr News Agency (MNA), Gharibpour had earlier announced
    plans to stage 'Rostam and Sohrab' opera in marionette style, but
    Ferdowsi Hall was not prepared for the performance.

    The director said that his group is currently rehearsing to bring to
    stage the opera using marionettes.

    The composer of the opera, Loris Tjeknovarian, the composer of the
    opera said that it took 20 years to compose 'Rostam and Sohrab'
    and epic poetry from Ferdowsi.

    Preparations for the opera took at least two years during which
    $100,000 was spent on ordering puppets from Austria which were
    manufactured with Iranian features and in line with the culture
    of Shahnameh.

    The music of the opera has been performed by Roudaki Symphonic
    Orchestra. All vocalists are Armenians singing in Persian.
