The five great figures of Italian opera between the 19th and 20th centuries are all represented: Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi and Puccini, plus Leoncavallo, a historical exponent of Italy’s Verismo. Bringing together tunes of melancholy, elegant comedy and drama, the evening will also serve as a tribute to the frivolous world of operetta. The event is free and open to adults and children aged 10 years and above.

The Treasures of Krakow recounts the tale of a city – the seat of Polish kings, former capital of the country, home to one of the oldest European universities, and magnet for poets, writers and artists. Krakow was one of the most important metropolises of the Medieaval era, and became the first European urban ensemble to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This exhibition sheds light on the strong cultural ties and exchanges between Bahrain and the Republic of Poland. The exhibition is free to enter from 9am to 4pm from Sunday to Thursday. There will also be a lecture by Agata Wąsowska-Pawlik on Krakow’s heritage from 6pm on December 4. Visit culture.gov.bh When? Mondays Event? Trivia Night Venue? Sherlock Holmes Call 17 713-000. When?
