Cairo Opera Children’s Choir

The Cairo Opera House Children's Choir consists of nearly 250 boys and girls, and was established in July 1989 under the supervision of Dr. Ratiba El-Hefny and the direction of Maestro Selim Sahab.

The choir has a repertoire of traditional and modern songs, but its aim is not purely artistic. Time and effort is also directed at educational, social and national aspects. Cultivating an artistically conscious generation capable of social involvement and developing a strong national identity is by far one of the noblest aims of the Cairo Opera House.

With great proficiency, the Cairo Opera House Children's Choir participated in opera productions of Carmen, La Bohème, and the operetta Sheherazade, as well as in a few others. The choir also took part in Arab music concerts.
