Leyli and Majnoun as Opera

Tickets to the new opera “Leyli and Majnoun”, written, directed and produced by Seyyed Jalaleddin Dorri, are now available at Tiwall.com.
The piece, which had first opened on April 14, is scheduled to have a number of performances on Saturdays at Shahrzad Theater, the total number of which has not been announced yet.
The play borrows its name from the renowned work of 12-century Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi. Nizami’s Leyli and Majnoun is a narrative poem based on a semi-historical Arab story about the 7th-century Bedouin poet Qays ibn Al-Mulawwah and his ladylove Leyli bint Mahdi.
Dorri’s play, set 60 years ago in Iran, is a love story between a simple writer who comes to Tehran and falls in love with an actress.
