Bambi is grateful for her friend Yvonne for sharing a beautiful and moving 3.5 minute-long Dutch NOS documentary by Ms. Daisy Mohr.
Yes, bravo to the Baalbeck International Festival for staging the grand opera of Georges Bizet’s “Carmen” (https://tinyurl.com/yny66w3x) this summer despite the volatile security situation in Lebanon (https://tinyurl.com/5hdd65mr).
When Ms. Mohr asked Mr. Jorge Takla (https://tinyurl.com/cmtntjar), Stage Director, “what is your message” with this performance, his reply was: “It is to never abandon hope” .
Related to the above uplifting message, as Ms. Nayla de Freige, President of the Baalbeck International Festival, expressed at the end of this documentary: “Culture should be stronger than weapons“.
