The Damascus Opera House (officially Dar al-Assad for Culture and Arts) (Arabic: دَارُ الْأَسَدِ لِلثَّقَافَةِ وَالْفُنُونِ) is the national opera house of Syria. Inaugurated on 7 May 2004, it is located in central Damascus, on the Umayyad Square. Damascus already had an opera house in the 1900s. During the French colonial period, Shahbandar's People's Party held their inaugural meeting at the old Damascus Opera House in 1925. Hafez al-Assad planned the opera house early in his rule, but work did not recommence until the 2000s and Assad's son Bashar and his wife opened the new opera house in 2004. More information...
