cinema trust Gadam Fard wrote in Etemad newspaper: The performance of “Simorgh’s composition” with conductor Farhad Fakhredini has brought this conductor back to the performance stage after 10 years. The opera “Manzomeh Simorgh” is an expression of seven cities of love or seven valleys in mysticism.
The stages that the seeker has to go through in order to reach the final goal are the terrible deserts and difficult and deadly passes, and in fact, they are the seven stages of love that Attar wrote in the book of Logic al-Tayir to express the truth of knowing God, and these nights we are witnessing their musical performance.
Apart from these things, it is worth mentioning that this work was made in 1400 by the order of Dr. Hojatullah Ayoubi, who was the Secretary General of the UNESCO National Commission in those years. But Ayubi’s efforts to perform on stage with the senior managers of the Ministry of Science, who were in charge of the UNESCO National Commission, were fruitless, and the project had to remain silent.
Even Ayubi made another opera during his presidency in Eko, which has also remained unnoticed. The opera “Meeting of Shams and Rumi” directed by Loris Cheknvarian and the teacher Mohammad Ali Mohed had made significant contributions in the selection of its lyrics.
As far as Ayubi wrote in the book “The Color of Iran”: “One of my dreams is to stage the opera of the meeting of Shams and Rumi.” In fact, the “Manzomeh Simorgh”, which is performed in the Vahdat Hall, was created during the time of Hojatullah Ayoubi, the Secretary General of the UNESCO National Commission, under the pretext of registering Atar Neishabouri in the UNESCO list of famous people, but it was not performed on stage, and now with the help of the private sector and conductor Arash Amini He goes on stage.
