Syrian Culture Minister Lubana Mushava has announced that Lebanese artists Heba Tawaji and Osama Rahbani have been banned from singing at the Damascus Opera House for the rest of their lives after they canceled two concerts they were scheduled to perform there last March.

And Mushava felt that Heba Tawaji and Osama Rahbani’s apology for their concerts was “a very incomplete chapter” and confirmed that “she did not imagine that anyone from the Rahbani family with their great and ancient history would be subjected to great and regrettable political pressure with purpose of canceling their concerts”, noting that Heba Tawaji “demonstrated her position”. On Facebook, she was very affected, which is an undesirable position.

Mashkhukh explained that the Syrian Ministry of Culture did not ask Hiba Tawaji and Osama Rahbani to give their concerts on the stage of the Damascus Opera House, but they asked for it. They have decided to cancel the concerts.”

And she continued: Heba Tawaji and Osama Rahbani are the ones who lost and paid the price, and that they will no longer be accepted at the Opera House while she is alive, and what they published was very cool.

Heba Tawaji announced to her fans via her Instagram account that she had decided to cancel her concert at the Damascus Opera House after being surprised that “newspapers and media were handling the ceremony and allowed themselves to be drawn into conflicts and corridors” . , and arguing about what she didn’t choose, besides, the world today is witnessing an atmosphere of regional tensions and major political conflicts that are much larger than us, and as part of a team of technicians and musicians, we consulted and decided that the conditions were not suitable for holding this concert in Syria.”
