The Haifa Theater continues the tradition of Hebrew singing performances that fill the halls in the city, And this Friday (1.5.26) A new tribute show will be performed to the late songwriter Ehud Manor – "I have no other country"The show follows the great success of the previous event in the series, which was dedicated to the songs of Naomi Shemer and received a full house and enthusiastic responses.
A selection of artists on one stage
The show, which will begin atTime 12:00, will feature re-enactments of Manor's greatest hits, which are considered cornerstones of Israeli soundtracks. Leading artists will join the stage, including:
- Efrat Gush
- Eric Sinai
- שלומית אהרון
- Alon Ader
- Yizhar Cohen
- My countryman
- Adi Cohen
The event will be hosted by Nathan Datner, with musical direction by Ohad Ben Avi and direction by Ido Cohen.
Connecting to local culture
Haim Gershon, Chairman of the Theater Board of Directors, He explains that the decision to continue the series of tribute performances was born out of identifying a clear need: "We see that songs from the Land of Israel are managing to fill halls and generate a lot of interest even in the current period."
According to him, the direct connection to local cultural assets is part of the theater's cultural vision.
"It was natural to move to Ehud Manor"
CEO and Artistic Director of the theater, Moshe Captain, adds that the success of the Naomi Shemer show paved the way for the current show: "Our goal is to make Israeli classics accessible in contemporary arrangements and performances by Israel's best artists, and to make Friday afternoons at the theater a significant cultural attraction."
A tribute to the Israeli soundtrack
The performance will include a long list of songs that Manor wrote over decades, songs that have become an integral part of Israel's cultural identity.
The Haifa Theater thus presents a direct continuation of the trend of strengthening Hebrew singing and transforming it into a community, accessible and exciting experience.
The previous performance in the series, which was a tribute to Naomi Shemer, was so good that there is no reason to give up a ticket for anyone who can come. Even at the Tel Aviv Culture Hall at triple the prices, I have not seen a performance of this level. And I try to watch all performances of this type.
Just to be clear – seeing Miri Aloni strolling through the Nahal stronghold and singing like Yarden, or Shuli Nathan talking about Jerusalem Gold and Roni Dalomi and Hami Rodner in two hours for the price of 100 shekels is a bargain from the land of reality. And it was also extraordinarily moving.
