An operatic star of Jordanian descent, who has sung at the best opera houses in Vienna, London, Paris, Rome, and on other best stages of Europe, is now going to debut in Ukraine. Her enchanting voice, in which the culture of the East meets that of the West, will sound at the Lviv Philharmonic Society. The organizers of her tour told The Day that Barhoum will present her new album, Alcantara II. This event will not only let the Lviv public enjoy the singer’s exceptional operatic talent, but will also mark an important milestone: the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Ukraine and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

It is not only Barhoum’s beautiful soprano that thrills the public: she is also known for her creative approach and bright images she creates on stage.

At the concert in Lviv she will co-perform with tenor Bassem Alkhouri (Syria) and the Lviv Philharmonic’s Academic Symphony Orchestra directed by Lorenzo Tazzieri (Italy). The program includes not only masterpieces by Georges Bizet, Giuseppe Verdi, Franz Schubert, Gioachino Rossini to celebrate the diversity of classical European operatic music, Arabic songs will also be performed. The public will get a surprise premiere of the song to Taras Shevchenko’s lyrics The Mighty Dnieper Roars and Bellows in Arabic. The Kobzar’s poem was published in Arabic translation in 2014 to the request of the Ambassador of Ukraine to Jordan. Today, sung by Zeina Barhoum, it will become a cultural bridge between our nations.
