Highly anticipated performers will include Maria Callas, Bulgarian soprano Stefanna Kybalova ( Tosca), Moroccan tenor Abdellah Lasri ( Cavaradossi). Artistic advisor and first guest conductor Olivier Holt will interpret and lead the Orchestra. The concert will take place in Rabat’s Mohammed V National Theatre, famous for their live music events and hosting iconic stars like Charles Aznavour, Badr Rami, Eleftheria Arvanitaki, Anoushka Shankar, Susana Baca, Lotfi Bouchnak, Rafael Amargo, Jahida Wehbe.
