STOMP in Cairo

STOMP is here. The choreography and percussion sensation show is visiting Cairo for the first time. For some, it is the event of the year.
I originally thought I would not post anything about the show because of the bizarre marketing strategy of the organizers who initially gave the impression that tickets were offered only to selected groups of people (incidentally, the Cairo Opera House posted the event in its website as a “private event”), then made purchase possible through telephone numbers (02 27390144/132), and now, it seems, have finally given the possibility to buy tickets directly at the COH ticket counters, like for any other public performance held there. I also heard that a ticket is going to blow a hole in your wallet; I do not know, and honestly … I’ll leave it to you to find out if you are interested.

STOMP will perform in the Main Hall of the Cairo Opera House from Thursday November 20 to Sunday, November 23 8:00 PM.
