Ala Marr Al-Agyal Revives Memories of Classic Arabic Music at Alexandria Opera House

The Ala Marr Al-Agyal ensemble brought the spirit of classic Arabic music to Alexandria Opera House this evening, with artists Yasser Saeed and Mohamed El-Khouly taking the stage.

The performance evoked the golden age of Arabic song, drawing on a musical heritage closely associated with tarab—the emotional connection between singers, music and listeners.

Saeed and El-Khouly featured in an evening centred on the enduring appeal of that tradition and the memories it carries across generations.

Staged at the Alexandria Opera House theatre, the concert placed classic Arabic repertoire at the heart of the night’s programme.
