A big achievement for a country that most of us know very little about. I sincerely hope this impressive arts complex will benefit my friends in Kuwait, as I know how hard they have been working to encourage western classical music in the region. Truly exciting!

Sad very sad no one knew, it was not advertised, i have livef here for 18 years, this was a well kept secret. I will continue to listen to my favorite opera in my house, honestly i am very sad that i did not know
Hi Yvonne, it’s a pity you did not hear about the opening, but I fully agree it is a giant step forward. I hope there will be many more chances for you to listen and watch your favourite operas at the new complex!
Bocelli? What a shame to have a pop singer open an opera house!
