From September 18th to 22nd, the Drama Theatre hosts the 23rd edition of the International Music Festival, organized by the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters. The second night of the festival, September 19th, celebrates the songs of late Turkish singer Bergen, known as the Woman of Pains. Turkish singer Tuğça Al-Najjar will perform Bergen’s most beautiful songs accompanied by the musical ensemble under the direction of Dr. Bassam Al-Baloushi and the participation of the Istanbul Strings Ensemble.
Bergen was one of the most prominent Arabesque music stars in Turkey in the 1980s, breaking sales records with her albums, including her fourth “Woman of Pains”, which its title later became her nickname. She was renowned for her expressive voice and melancholy songs that reflected her bitter personal life. Bergen was tragically killed by her ex-husband who first threw nitric acid on her face resulting in blindness in her right eye. In 2022, a Turkish biopic about her was released bringing her memory and songs back to the forefront.
