Wage Dispute Shakes Music Festival
The article addresses the budget and salary crisis at the 34th Arab Music Festival, where Rida Al-Wakeel announced his resignation from the presidency of the Egyptian Opera House due to disagreements over funding for events. This led to some prominent artists, such as Ali El-Hagar and Mohamed Tharwat, withdrawing from participation. Ali El-Hagar's reason for withdrawing was the insufficient budget allocated to his musical band, which he described as humiliating, while Mohamed Tharwat was absent from the festival because the offered salaries did not meet his expectations. The upcoming edition of the festival faces financial challenges that could impact the participation of stars, despite events being organized over 11 days with the participation of renowned artists and musical ensembles.
