Hisham Gabr: Sindbad, the Omani Sailor

The joint production of the Royal Opera House of Oman and Müpa Budapest underlines the significance of the meeting of cultures.

SAXOPHONE. BALLET. IMPRESSION. It is well known how close Hungarian composer Péter Eötvös felt to jazz. The sound of the saxophone stimulated his musical imagination since his childhood. And even if the saxophone often played an important role in his orchestral scores, he composed a concerto for saxophone only in the final stage of his career, in 2021. His saxophone concerto ‘Focus’, whose title refers to filmmaking and photography, was first performed in Cologne, and Hungarian saxophonist Erzsébet Selejlo played this piece at its Hungarian premiere.
