Syrian opera singer Suzan Haddad commemorates 18th anniversary of the founding of Dar Al-Assad

Music masters classified the rawness of the voice of Syrian opera singer Suzanne Haddad as rare in terms of strength, beauty, genre and depth as she can perform the most lyrical notes from the lowest to the highest without losing any of its depth and melodiousness.

Suzan  will be the star marking the 18th anniversary of the founding of Dar Al-Assad for Culture and Arts, which will be revived by the Syrian National Symphony Orchestra led by Maestro Misak Baghboudrian.

Suzan was apprenticed to the godfather of classical music in Damascus, Sulhi al-Wadi, at the Higher Institute of Music, in whom he found an exceptional and promising voice. She used to travel to Aleppo periodically to receive lessons from the Syrian opera singer and teacher, Araks Shakjian.

After Susan graduated from the Higher Institute of Music in 1999,  she travelled to Europe to complete her postgraduate studies in operatic singing and sound sciences at the Conservatoire of Maastricht, the Netherlands, under the supervision of important singers.

Susan participated in many lyrical works in Switzerland, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Tunisia, Lebanon, Egypt, Pakistan, Iraq, Jordan, Argentina and Venezuela. In Italy, she sang in the Vatican in the presence of Pope John Paul II in 2002.

Suzan practiced Arabic singing in addition to Western, as her deepening in oriental music helped her enrich it with the sciences of Western music, singing methods and sound sciences  and enabled her to perform many concerts that achieved a qualitative audience.
