About Damascus Opera House

People here have a lot of love for art and culture despite the world falling apart around them and the standing proof is the Damascus Opera house. It is the most loved and popular entertainment centre of the city. The five-storied building houses a huge auditorium, drama theatre and a multipurpose hall. Beautiful music concerts and plays are staged here very frequently and it is almost always fully packed.
