Emile Bustani Auditorium

Attend the performance, “The Nightingale” at Emile Bustani Auditorium with Helikon Opera.

This is Stravinsky’s famous and most loved opera. A nightingale sings for the Chinese Emperor who admires its song. Later, three Japanese emissaries offer the emperor a mechanical nightingale, which pleases the Emperor. The real Nightingale flies away and the angry Emperor banishes the bird from his realm. The court musicians call back the real nightingale who sings to the dying Emperor and revives him.
