Beiteddine Festival

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Beiteddine Festival
July and August
The Beiteddine Festival, held in a magnificent 200-year-old palace in this town in the Chouf region of Lebanon, has presented world-class offerings in the arts since 1985. Organizers defied the struggles of Lebanon's civil war by staging this celebration of human culture. Many performers are Lebanese, but artists from around the world also are invited. The 2001 festival, for example, included a concert by Elton John, a production of Victor Hugo's Notre Dame de Paris, and Turkish folk musician Kudsi Erguner, as well as a performance by the popular Lebanese singer Fairouz.

Aa Hala Chahine, member of the committee of Beiteddine Festival, said that festivals in Beiteddine have been booked this year at a rate of 90 percent compared to only 70 percent last summer.
The Beiteddine Festival, from July 2 to August 15, is held in a palatial 19th century residence in the Shouf mountains, an area of green hills and traditional villages southeast of Beirut which is popular with tourists.
The Beiteddine Festival has been held for more than 26 years," festival committee vice president Wafa Saab said.
