Bambi is grateful for her friend Yvonne for sharing a beautiful and moving 3.5 minute-long Dutch NOS documentary by Ms. Daisy Mohr. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, bravo to the Baalbeck International Festival for staging the grand opera of Georges Bizet’s “Carmen” (https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/yny66w3x)<\/a> this summer despite the volatile security situation in Lebanon (https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/5hdd65mr<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Ms. Mohr asked Mr. Jorge Takla (https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/cmtntjar<\/a>), Stage Director, “what is your message<\/em>” with this performance, his reply was: “It is to never abandon hope<\/em>” . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/em>“. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
