The Saudi National Orchestra and Choir gave a performance yesterday at New York’s vaunted Metropolitan Opera.

It was a co-promotion between the Saudi Theatre and Performing Arts Commission, the Saudi Music Commission, the Metropolitan Opera and the Kingdom’s Ministry of Culture.

In his opening remarks, Met general manager Peter Gelb said: ‘Art has the possibility of triumphing over adversity.’

Irony, RIP.
