In the final episode of our three-part series exploring the music of Dubai’s Expo: the story of Al Wasl Opera, an original opera commissioned by Expo 2020 Dubai.   Al Wasl is the first ever Emirati opera, produced in partnership with the world-renowned Welsh National Opera. Its story spans the past, present, and future of the United Arab Emirates and asks the questions: what is Al Wasl - the link - between us as humans? Between us and our planet? Between connecting today’s minds and creating the future?   This podcast is by Expo 2020 Dubai and produced by Kerning Cultures Network.
