Opera Essentials: Cities of Salt
Car cemetery in Kuwait with burning Burgan oil fields in the background, set on fire by retreating Iraqi troops, 1991. © Abbas/Magnum Photos The Story Begins… In the 1930s in an unnamed country of the Arabian Gulf, there is a small, isolated oasis called Wadi al-Uyoun, where life has gone on unchanged for centuries. Oil is discovered and husband and wife Miteb and Wadha see the discovery unleash a cataclysmic transformation on their Bedouin community.
