This musical play tells the story of a woman who made it on her own in a man's world, constantly rising against the tides, transforming her music, image, and style to become a legend: Umm Kulthum, the Star of the Orient. "Umm Kulthum & The Golden Era" will take you on a musical journey from her early years in the 1920s to the 1970s, culminating in her grand concert at L'Olympia Theatre in Paris. A live orchestra and singers will adapt to her early and later years. Songs, including "Ghanili," "Alf Laylah," "Serat el Hob," "Hob Eyh," and many more of her top hits, will be performed live.
About Umm Kalthum
In the Egyptian Delta at the turn of the century, Tammy al Zahayera, the village imam, takes his daughter to sing in a ‘mawlid’ festival, where she captivates the crowd with her voice. As she grows older, he dresses her as a Bedouin boy for performances before taking her to Cairo to develop her career. There, surrounded by great composers, intellectuals, musicians, and thinkers of Egypt's golden age, she meets poet Ahmed Rami, a Sorbonne graduate, sparking a love affair.
Beloved by all and belonging to none, admirers of Umm Kulthum have won her love and praise with their attention and songwriting. Her songs about love and longing express the many forms that love can take, its pain, and its complications. This musical tells the story of a woman who made it on her own in a man's world, constantly rising against the tides, transforming her music, image, and style to become a legend.
