Arab Theatre Unknown: Episode One: (play Aida)

Arab Theatre Unknown: Episode One: (play Aida) A. Dr. Sayed Ali Ismail
The Department of magazine (backstage) - kindly - at the end of a series of articles (documents Kuwaiti theater), the beginning of the deployment of a new series, with an interesting title, is the (Arab Theatre unknown)! And the standard of these episodes is to talk about theatrical performances or texts in an unprecedented way; provided that the theatrical work, he passed nearly a century (100 years)! Perhaps the reader will feel a contrast between the rings and the title Maaarha in general, and the title of the first episode, which we will talk about the play (Aida) in particular; and perhaps the reader will wonder: Is (Aida) is the unknown play an Arab?! Does reading about in an unprecedented way?! Dear Reader .. I hope that your mind away from these concerns, do not ask such questions now .. Vtmhl even finished reading the episode, and at the end, try to ask such questions, if they will take place - at all - in your mind!! Aida and the false start It is known historically and artistically - and unfortunately in the wrong - that represented the Opera Aida Opera Theatre Khedivial when it opens in 1869, on the occasion of celebration of Egypt's Suez canal. This fact Mthboth wrong in most of the books and studies, which chronicled the Egyptian Theater, Oshz about that a few, including (Saleh Abdoun), author (Aida, one hundred candle), published in Egypt in 1973. In this book author talked about opera Aida as represented in the opera Khedivial for the first time on 24/12/1871 m; after the opening of the opera - and the celebration of the Suez Canal - full two years. Based on this, will not be approached in my representation of the circumstances of this opera for the first time, because the talk will be refined, and lose the standard workshops, a talk about working in an unprecedented way!! Based on the above, I can say that the opera Aida was already scheduled to be represented at the opening of the opera in 1869, but technical conditions have prevented it! The question now is: What is the offer, such as at the opening of the opera on 1/11/1869?! Mesmerized reader, when I say to him, did not open the Opera presented a theatrical representation, but the opening was a French poem bear the characteristics of the Khedive of Justice and the dream of fame and .. Etc., by a group of representatives, and stood in a semicircle, and Osthm picture of the Khedive Ismail, the ruler of Egypt at the time. This information is published in the journal (the valley of the Nile) in Egypt 5/11/1869, said: "got the first opening with the very success of the named type Altiatro Balawberh .... and about an hour after dinner that night, the Khedive of higher Ganab may honor this place Bhoudrth . and sat in the room Khedivial stomach where to stay between the presence of Prince Alaitaliani and his wife. It was all of them sits in that night Alonash. was this joy and happiness for the rest of the audience, where they speak out for all of us several times to the presence of Khedivial attic long life. has revealed the curtain first, composed poem in Frensawih was organized by some writers princes Alofranjian in Medha Hadra Khedivial. The beech this beautiful landscape above image itself Gorgeous placed in the center of the Council on a bench surrounded by the players and the players perceived in themselves the path of symbols indicative: Justice and the dream of fame and other descriptions beautiful dating back to the same long and solemn praise of explanation. " After two days of this opening, has been the first representative in the history of opera opera Khedivial, the Opera (Rigoletto) intended for play (playing King) of Victor Hugo on 3/11/1869, was attended by the Khedive Ismail. It is strange - and funny - that this offer is not fully!! During the representation of a fire, led to the escape of representatives, and secure the exit of the Khedive in order to preserve his life. This incident is funny, told us that also magazine (the valley of the Nile), saying: "The news, which he says listener to it when it heard Praise be to God, which was estimated and kindness. That while he was Ganab Khedive Majesty has honored place Teatro Alawberh Balozpkah. Each of the players and the players show that he has the skill and shows proof of his skill and savvy in the game known to them as (Rigoletto) .... if the revolution of the gas fireplace in place Altiatro mentioned, you may have and if the resurrection had. where the panic the rest of the audience and interrupted catenary luck and happiness. The first to keep the fear of fire and said that the booty to escape, the sons of art ..... and lost the subsequent play and .... what happened in particular of thermoplastic Ganab Khedive higher Altbar insurance out of the room where Khedivial stomach to his attic. If Teatro has a place of honor Alawberh Egyptian and make himself Atmn people and shouting loudly to remain steadfast and silent. " Aida and the beginning of Arab Known that the opera (Aida), when accounted for the first time in the opera Khedivial in 1871, represented the Italian melody and dialogue of the story of Pharaonic Egypt. This means that the Arab public, or the Egyptian did not enjoy the image of the Arab, when he saw for the first time, and this, spotted by Khedive Ismail, he ordered - writer translator Press (Aboul-Saoud Effendi) the magazine of the Nile Valley - translated into Arabic, was the distribution of the translated text printed on the Arab public, the opening night. It is likely that the amount printed carried out within a few days, and was published a second edition of the translation. Both editions Aerpetan Nadrtan for this play, was on the cover of the first as follows: "When Alawberh named after the (back), written by the teacher Gazelnsona [Gizlanzna] and sign Alawsth and shoots [Verdi], classified by order of HE Khaddao Egypt. Arabization of the poor slave of Abu Soud Effendi, editor of the Valley of the Nile - First Edition - project editor at Journal of the Nile Valley Cairo 1288 AH [1871 AD]. " And was on the cover of the second edition follows: "A translation of the game named after the (back), a piece Tiatria kind of games known as Alawberh (ie, imaging of the historical event famous), includes scenes impressed and discotheques surprising, punctuated by songs music singer to be dispersed across three chapters and seven scenes , written by the teacher Gazelnsona and sign Alawsth and shoots, sorted by order of HE Khaddao Egypt to intentionally shot in Teatro Alawberh Egypt, Cairo. has got to play them already in the field mentioned in the season (1871 - 1872 AD), translated by poor slave of Abu Soud Effendi, editor of the Nile Valley. " In 1875, he visited Egypt (Salim Khalil discussion) Lebanese - the nephew of a leading Arab theater Maroun debate - and saw the opera Aida in Italian, and noted the attention of the Khedive Ismail them, so he Ptribha, and modify some of their characteristics, in order to turn it into a play rather than opera. When he returned to Lebanon, the Syrian press published in the same year 1875, and donated to the Khedive Ismail. Then the debate Arabization play (mi), and also donated to the Khedive, and some objects the Egyptians, who supported him and helped him when he occupies himself with want of representation in Egypt. Because of this artistic activity, and the determination to work, and agreed to by the Khedive Ismail Khalil Salim debate the composition of the Lebanese theater group, and come to Egypt to view the plays in Arabic for the first time. Thus, proper debate held leadership Arab theater in Egypt unchallenged!! This is a historical fact, contrary to fact false, which says that Jacob is a leading Snoa Arab theater in Egypt! This started a lot, and proved this fact with evidence and documents, and yet could not any researcher or critic to prove the role of Snoa alleged leadership of the Arab Theatre in Egypt, and still the door open - wide open - those who render an opinion accompanied by the evidence is overwhelming, re-lead the play stripped to Jacob Snoa!! Came Salim Khalil debate to Egypt, accompanied by a theater group complete, and display - in Alexandria - a collection of plays, the Arab Arabization and authored, and the product plays his uncle Maroun debate, as well as interpreters friend Adib Ishaq, and the play (Aida) is the high point of the plays undisputed. Unfortunately this does not work the band anticipated success, becoming the owner to the press, and leave the band to his friend (Yussef Al Khayat), who continued in the management of the band for many years, maintaining the display Aida as he left the debate. Has told us in the newspaper Al-Ahram 18/2/1886 M, Khayat fact that Joseph theater group in conjunction with the artist Murad Romano, The Aida of the most important offers new band, has repeatedly offered to Zezenia theater in Alexandria. In view of the world following a play-Khayyat (Aida) again in the territories of Egypt, in particular the city (Zagazig), Eastern Province, and this was a special offer to attend the Director (Governor) East, and Under the province, and some of the consuls of foreign countries. Has offered to Al-Ahram newspaper on 28/1/1887, and a description of this representation in which she said: "He excelled diagnosed and Almchksat very mastery applauded them all and threw flowers on the diagnosed and Almchksat acclaimed for their agility movements and the accuracy of representation and good throw, especially Radamis that surprised and minds Rmvis the High Priest the fresher and for hundreds of his voice throaty and returning daughter of the King of Abyssinia and Omitris Pharaoh's daughter and others. " Aida and the big teams It is worth mentioning that the text of the play (Aida) and Salim Khalil Cart debate in 1875, was the only text that represented all the teams play for more than half a century (50 years), without change or switch!! This has many technical reasons, including: the power of words and smoothness Almsjoah, according to the verbal workmanship acceptable to the masses this time. As well as the national theme, which fuels the fervor and the desire to win, especially since Egypt was under the occupation. Not to mention the accompanying decoration of events, and featured its enormity, colors, and embodied the greatness of the pharaohs, as well as fashion and luxury and bright colors .. Etc. The interesting elements, guaranteeing the success of the show in all circumstances. These things have made this text is permitted and available for all teams play, and even the width of Aida is a guaranteed success for any theater group. Proof of this is that Abu Khalil Qabbani, when he came to Egypt in 1884, the most of his plays, known in its history, and when he felt that his audience wants to see new, did not find a better view (Aida) to offer it to his audience, for renewal, and the igloo this matter in first he was in his art in Egypt, such as when (Aida) on 27/9/1884 - Al-Ahram newspaper also told us - in the Danube Coffee Bath in Alexandria, and added a chapter in the show funny Tvkhh to the public, a separate analog Albantomaim art. In his presentation of the play Aida in 1890, Kabbani added at the end of a chapter offer a concert done by the scientist (Laila maize), as stated in the newspaper (Mokattam) on 8/1/1890. The band was thus Alqirdahi Solomon (Aida) a lot, but I will stop only when the two presentations which are of importance: first, the February 1887, in which a strange thing happened did not happen before! Whereas the introduction of Aida requires a huge number of extras to represent the masses troops on stage, this crowd is difficult to embody convincingly; so the officer (Mitchell), which is a Division officers the soldiers of Egypt, the involvement of his band in the play service from the Task Alqirdahi, and this was the first incident of its kind in the participation of real soldiers on stage. This contributed to the success of this offer stunning success, and this is what she told us about its contents in the Al-Ahram 11/2/1887. The other proposal, it was a month after the premiere, and specifically in the 11/03/1887, where such Alqirdahi (Aida), without the crowds of real soldiers, and although it was packed audience in the hall, and the reason for this is to create Alqirdahi technique to attract new masses, which is to convince Sheikh Salama Hegazi - vocalist and singer known - siding on stage, not to represent but to cast his poems to the public between the musical theater classes and at the end. This rush to the public on the show not for the vision of the representation (Aida), but in order to hear the voice of Sheikh Salama Hegazi as well! So Sheikh Salama Hegazi is the star of our concept of the current box theater, strange that this concept has been known for more than a hundred years ago, and was able to apply Alexander joy, when he persuaded Sheikh Salama Hegazi to join his band to be the sole star and Matarbha months. Through this link between management wise to play Alexander the joy, and talent representation and for the safety of Tarab Hijazi, Alexander was able to band joy to gain fame and stability for many decades in the history of Egyptian theater. And reported evidence of this view (Aida), who was on 20/9/1892, and told us the newspaper (Mokattam), saying: "Like yesterday Choir Alexander Effendi novel Farah (back), Vgs stadium attendees, and shred their roles in the representation of actors, especially the presence of creative singer Sheikh Salama Hegazi, he was representing the role of Radames they expressed ĂÝÜÜÇäÜÜíÜÜä representation of the eye is stopped, and the audience applauded him especially well received and we feel compelled by what they heard, pop, and tunes that move the emotions, and provoke Alohjan. " This stardom of Sheikh Salama Hegazi, made inseparable from the joy of Alexander the band, and have his own band bearing his name in 1905, and was (Aida) in its weekly or monthly, and was renewed in the display continuously. In the display on 18/11/1905, we find it in the end of the show adds a chapter funny consolation to the public, in the open on 18/9/1906, found in its conclusion adds moving pictures (Sinmaturav), a primitive silent movie tapes, and this was the first union between the art of theater and cinema, has occurred at the hands of Sheikh Salama Hegazi
The choir of Abdullah Okasha (boyband Akasha), has started operation in 1912, after the Plate (Aida) and worn out most of the difference between the representation of the play, and became reserved at the public, a renewal can not it! From this point thought Abdullah Okasha in renewal, and did not find only the import of clothes bright as new from Europe, as well as the manufacture of decorations, for bringing the play more attractive to the public, also maintained Akasha is also the most important element in the success of the show, which is a voice of Sheikh safety Hijazi, even between the seasons, or during the representation. This offer and said the newspaper (the people) on 17/12/1913: "will Pityatro Alhambura choir master Representative Abdullah Effendi Okasha on the evening of Saturday, January 3 1914 novel (back) after the famous conjuring all the necessary clothing from Europe, including more than One hundred and fifty sight, and will appear for the first time on Alemrash Arabic translator after Kosheib and appearance pleaser, and will be all Jawq author than seventy representatives present at this night, and will be landscapes, all new never used. and Satrb attendance through representation Bulbul Egypt and a professor of Arab representation in this country Hazrat Sheikh Hijazi safety. " Thus, under Sheikh Salama Hegazi singing star of the only theater, especially in the theater (Aida). This has been a star of the inherent Sheikh even after his illness Balvalj (paralysis), and became his band on the verge of collapse. And he wants just to be exposed band George White to chill in their bids in that period, consider white and Hijazi to annex Frguetehma together in the blending of art is unprecedented, and was on the mix name (Choir and white Hijazi), and this group included all members of the divisions, the tournament was divided between George White and the safety of Hijazi. For example, when a Jawq play (Aida), the George White Amonasser role, and the role of the safety of Sheikh Rdames, this has been ongoing for two years, also told us that the newspaper (Egypt) on 27/10/1914. Aida and small teams Knows all interested in theater, and all Boukfallah world, all of its cost-mm .. Extent of spending that money spent on a play (Aida), especially decoration and clothing .. Etc., and this makes the representation of a play (Aida) monopoly of the big teams, that we talked about! Strangely, however, that history does not acknowledge this fact, and proves to us that teams play a small - almost unknown - offered (Aida) dozens of times!! On 29/6/1891 Al told us (the farmer), the National Jawq headed east (Abu Ahmed of Justice), such as (Aida) at the Theatre Street, Abdul Aziz, Jawq representation so well and won the admiration of the audience! The Gazette asked the public to support this Jawq, and the audience to see performances every Wednesday and Friday of every week!! And my comment on this news, Jawq that this is only a temporary choir does not work but the top teams in the holiday!! Abu Ahmed is one of the representatives of justice is the band Alexander Farah, Abdel Aziz Street Theater is a theater group Alexander joy!! One day Wednesday and Friday days off band Alexander Farah weekly!! This means that the actor (Ahmed Abu Justice) was rewarded for these two nights for his own interest, and therefore uses the stage and the band members, decorations and costumes for the establishment of private parties on behalf of the (national Jawq ET). The Choir Association of pleasure, was the most famous small theater groups, and was director Mikhail Girgis moving in the regions of Egypt, where he lives Hadra (something like a circus tent) in any open space, and offers a live band play. Oddly enough, this could represent Jawq play (Aida) in the city of Fayoum on 20/3/1892, and the strangest thing is that the newspaper (pleasure) applauded the offer, saying: "Choir Society gave us pleasure the presence of management writer Mikhail Girgis Effendi Like us several stories of the most famous literary novel ( back). was like yesterday in the presence of many Vojad actors and actresses roles of good throw and the ingenuity of representation, particularly the presence of Mahmoud Effendi uterine representative role Rdames the chief priests and the presence of Khatoon virtuous nice representative of the role of the back, forcing the audience to restore several important roles punctuated by applause, applause. " It is the difference smaller, which accounted for a play (Aida), Jawq literary National Fares honest, and like her on the stage of Alpolitiama in March 1892, and the choir of Suleiman Haddad, in April 1893, and the choir of the Union rather than unique, such as (Aida) at the center of Qamh in March 1906, and the same also Choir Sheikh Mohammed Attia Teatro Berntania in June 1920. Aida between good and evil Because of the famous play (Aida), and the enthusiasm of the audience in every time and place, the view, and trump, and this profit is the goal of charities, that wish to raise funds in order to achieve charitable purposes. From this point decided by the Assembly of Arts Quote charitable establishment of a charity night in March 1887, represents the play (Aida), and the physical return revenue to the treasury of the Assembly, so tell us newspaper (Al-Ahram) on 08/03/1887. Like this charity concert, the charity celebrated Zionist Bliltha charitable Khedivial Opera in December 1901, and in this night offered Assembly play (Aida), and its proceeds earmarked for the benefit of students at the school free of Zionism in Egypt. This newspaper story reported by us (pro) on 22/12/1901. It is noticeable that the pieces of news in the former, we reflect how good that brings theater, especially the play (Aida), if this were to take advantage of the drama correctly! Because it is possible to take advantage of the theater are bad, and this is what Al told us (pro), saying in 8/2/1911: "met a group of young men and they wrote the Assembly and called it the Assembly (Rashad), and it would represent a novel (Aida) House representation Arabian night of 20 December last year. and distributed to people tickets allow them to attend the representation of this novel, and when people went to the place of representation did not find anything informed each section Uzbek, who worked the necessary investigations and turned him from the investigation conducted by those who wrote this Assembly are Bndor, and Frala, Alexander and the elbow, and Shehata Khater, Stephen and Joseph, and Tawfiq Yousef, and the police considered the incident, such as fraud and wrote a report of it and sent it to prosecutors to complete the investigation. " Aida comedy Was supposed mentioned story (Aida) at the beginning of the article; but I postponed it because of its importance in this place! Vmsarhah (back), set in the Pharaonic era, about the families of the returning daughter of the King of Ethiopia, and its service Omnerys Egyptian princess, and that the two competitors in love with Radames officer, despite his love for his back without the other. The events we find that the change Ethiopia to Egypt, seeking Pharaoh's army from Radames the leadership, with the wish of returning him to prevail over the army and her father and her homeland. After the test go Radames Princess Omnerys sense belonged to him, Vtakbrha news of his death in battle, and then denies her story after she learned her love to him. And Radames returns victorious, and been succeeded by the prisoners, is located on the back view of her father and shackled prisoners, although denied, seeking their discretion that the news of what it is. After Pharaoh ordered that the marriage back from Radames, Radames are asked to pardon the Pharaoh of the prisoners. In an interview Grammy goes back to meet with Radames, Vioagafha her father, and asked a question Radames by the Egyptian army, who play the Ethiopians, but refuses, Fadguet Consensus was forced out. And when she meets Pradames telling her the secret of the way the course for the army, and here shows Amonasser and arrested, and offers Radames for the trial, he is condemned to prison in the basement to the death penalty for his betrayal; but returned preceded to the basement disguised even received with the same fate, thus ending the play. It is during the events of Aida, the reader can judge it as tragic tragic, requires a representation of representatives of a special specification, to represent the role of kings and princes and leaders .. Etc., not to mention the decor, fashion and landscape .. Etc., and the question now is: Can the writer to turn this tragedy into the text of the Comedy?! Will dare to represent the theater (Aida) representation comedy?! Answer: Yes!! This happened in 1919, when the writer Hosni uterine Aida text to properly debate the text of the comic title (Aida Filla), similar to Egyptian colloquial expressions (evening fell upon Fil .. .. de Vlli night etc. ..)! This play comedy like (Abu Nawas Choir) to the owner Mustafa Amin several times in 1919, a Jawq who left the popular comedian (Ali Kassar). The play is presented sometimes in the name (Aida Filla), and at other times as (Aida Obs), and a third time as (Aida beautiful)! Strange and funny that the audience greeted this with approval the work great!! Fjradh (pulpit) in August 1919, she said of the band of Abu Nawas, "took the band a new kind of representation of humor did not precede him is the casting novels representative historic and Maghazi useful in the form of a comic calls them self, do not go, including the novel of the goals of ethical and moral ". The newspaper (Egypt): "a new kind of opera Comic unique to the band of Abu Nawas, which provide them with a group of Cram gentlemen, dignitaries money to encourage her and serve the Arab Theatre. As the novel back the oldest Arab fiction, historical, and which has been credited in the construction of the Opera Royal has worked by the presence of uterine Hosni writer to turn it into a comic ..... no doubt that the Egyptian nation will accept this prestigious group and type of new popular literary representation encourages those who have humor and eliminate all of the professional dealer representation defraud the public and young dreams Bcaún rake representation Mottag tons and is not riba. " This encouragement and alliance-building - is not reasonable - by the press to turn tragedies into comedies comic, is justified!! In this period, spread plays, comedy rave, especially band plays (Aziz Holiday). Enough to mention examples of addresses his plays; to make sure the reader Mjohnatha, such as: Silvna Mratk, Loya City What Tmsheeh Keda slug, and Sakra girl religion ..., and these plays were offset by the public attack too, amounted to demonstrate in public squares, and this explains Why the public and agreed to transfer to the opera Aida (Aida Filla), as a kind of farcical comedy, to be a bulwark against Alcolmadiat comic rave!! Aida between the pyramids and the Sphinx Commonly newly representation (Aida) between the Pharaonic monuments of natural, took advantage of this operators on tourism and culture in Egypt, where the tradition began nearly two decades, to hear and see the representation of Aida between the pyramids and the Sphinx, as well as seeing the show itself between the temples of Luxor Pharaohs. This tradition and moved to some Arab countries and the world .. Etc.. Perhaps some think that this method induced in the presentation of Aida, is the modern way of thinking has never in its implementation!! The historical truth says otherwise!! In 1912, the Company holidays and celebrations of using opera (Aida) in new art, attractive for foreign tourists to visit Egypt and see the (Aida) in the atmosphere naturally between the Sphinx and the pyramids, has earmarked the company as the date for this unique offer, which is the month of March 1912. The company has facilitated the Egyptian tram shuttle spectators to offer. This information is conveyed to us my newspaper (Mokattam) and (Egypt) in February and March 1912. Dear Reader .. I think you agree with me that you read about in an unprecedented Aida!! I'm interested in this is me and you arrive to the goal of this article, of: the existence of historical facts hidden art, a person can invest in his thinking or in his writings, and perhaps make him rethink many things have been thought in reality, or not really is ... See you next episode
