Hani Farhat Responds to Festival Crisis
Maestro Hani Farhat delivered stern criticism toward the statements made by the Chairman of the Egyptian Opera House, Rida Al-Wakeel, regarding the absence of some stars from the 2026 Arab Music Festival. Farhat emphasized that during the previous edition, all Arab artists were proud to participate without demanding monetary compensation. He stated that the festival's success depends on hard work and genuine support, not on blame or diminishing the festival’s or Egypt’s stature. Farhat also criticized blaming the state or management for the festival’s shortcomings, asserting that those responsible for organization bear the full responsibility for its success or failure. His comments came after some artists, such as Mohamed Tharwat and Mai Farouk, withdrew from this year's edition, with others choosing to refrain from participating.
