Experience an enchanting evening of compelling live music, intriguing stories and beautiful images surrounding the mysterious Sheherazade and her 1001 nights. Get carried away by the amateur orchestra Con Brio, the compelling storytelling of Abdelkader Benali and the support of Madelon Verbeek.
The story of Sheherazade tells of Sultan Shahriaar, who, after betraying his wife, decided to take a new bride every day and kill her the next morning. Sheherazade, the grand vizier's daughter, could no longer stand this tragedy and offered herself as a bride. Instead of suffering her fate, she began to tell the sultan a story. It was so fascinating that Shahriaar postponed her execution. Night after night, Sheherazade continued to captivate him with her stories, causing the sultan to slowly let go of his resentment and begin to believe in love again.
This evening, be immersed in the magic of this timeless story.
