Next stage of recovery from coronavirus - live theater returns to Tel Aviv

The festive atmosphere of an opening night was present as the curtain rose on the Jaffa Theatre’s performance of “Umm Kulthum” on Thursday night and the haunting strains of classical Arabic music wafted into the night air.


Although it was far from the first time the theater had staged this musical about the legendary Egyptian singer – the show has been a staple in the theater’s repertoire since 2015 – the performance was indeed a cause for celebration. It was the first professional theater performance in Israel since coronavirus social-distancing restrictions completely shuttered the country’s cultural scene in early March.
