Earlier this week, the Italian Ambassador in Egypt, Michele Quaroni, joined by the Egyptian Tourism Authority CEO, Amr El Kady, announced that the famed Italian opera house Teatro San Carlo is going to perform at Egypt’s iconic Great Pyramids of Giza on October 11th.
The show, described as the biggest Italian event ever in Egypt, aims to revive the greatest Italian opera performances in one grand show by the Pyramids, with Italian, international, and Egyptian masterpieces, including opera arias by a slew of yet unannounced superstar soloists.
This event will be the first time Teatro San Carlo, inaugurated in 1737, performs in Egypt. Moreover, their Pyramids concert will be the opera house’s first overseas event since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Upon their announcement, Quaroni and Kady expressed their hopes that the event would help boost and flourish the economic and touristic relationships between Egypt and Italy and attract more tourists to the state.
