Assala Nasri to perform in Damascus after 15-year absence

Syrian singer Assala Nasri is set to perform in Damascus for the first time in 15 years. The concerts at Al-Fayhaa Hall are scheduled for September 17 and 19, and are being organized under the support of the Ministry of Culture and the Syrian Artists Syndicate. Titled "The Return of Assala," the events have generated significant interest among Syrian and Arab audiences.

Assala last performed in Syria in February 2010, when she held a charity concert at the Damascus Opera House. Her absence since the outbreak of the Syrian uprising in 2011 was due to her vocal support for the protests and calls for freedom, as well as her outspoken political stance. Assala has been actively promoting her return throughout August via various publicity materials.

Syrian and Arab media outlets have disseminated information about the concerts. Assala's return coincides with a rise in cultural and artistic activities in Damascus, with the city hosting numerous musical and artistic events in recent months as part of various festivals and cultural programs.
