Beiteddine International Festivals returned after two years of darkness imposed by the “Corona” closure coinciding with the worst economic crisis in Lebanon, and the festival management decided to open the season with classical music in a show titled “It is the place where the light enters.

On the first night, the soprano Lara Jokhdar and the mezzo-soprano Natasha Nassar performed with the violinist Joe Doo. Nora Jumblatt considered that this year’s festivals express joy and reflect confidence in Lebanon’s cultural and civil role and its artistic identity. She said, “Beiteddine Festivals had previously challenged the war when it was launched in 1984, and today it is challenging all crises to receive its audience in the courtyards of the palace…and we are all hopeful.”

The second night is scheduled to be performed by the Lebanese singer and oud player, Dline Jabbour, on July 15, and the festivals will conclude with two concerts by Lebanese musician, composer and pianist Guy Manoukian, accompanied by a musical orchestra
