Encouraged by the continuous support of Rudi van den Bulck, Founding Editor of Opera Nostalgia, I am humbled and privileged to present the virtually unknown Director Enayat Rezai of the Roudaki Hall Opera House in Tehran, once existing in its glory. By remembering the past, like it was yesterday, there will be chapters to write on those stories yet to emerge.
ENAYAT REZAI - Director of Tehran Opera

In 1956 The Shah of Persia, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and Queen Soraya arrived in Turkey on an official state visit in Ankara. For this occasion, the Ankara Delvet Music Conservatory prepared a special ceremonial student concert welcoming Their Majesties.
