For the first time, Abdeen Palace will host a magical hologram performance of Umm Kalthoum on November 20.

This event will bring marvelous memories as Umm Kalthoum performed many times at the royal palaces in the presence of King Farouk.

This performance is not the first one in Egypt as the Cairo Opera House and the World Youth Forum witnessed hologram performances of Umm Kalthoum.

The earliest Umm Kalthoumm hologram performance was organized in Saudi Arabia and it attracted the eyes of the youth who never experienced the unique Um Kalthoum live performances.
