Shasenem and Garib

The 1944 opera Shasenem and Garib opened in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan last Friday. This is the first opera to be staged in the country since Saparmurat Niyazov imposed a ban in 2001. Current President Gurbanguli Berdymukhamedov lifted the ban on opera and circuses earlier this year.

    Perhaps at least a ban on clowns could be maintained? They are scary.

    I don’t think I know anyone who likes clowns.
