Английская Википедия:Abu Khalil Qabbani
Шаблон:Short description Abu Khalil Qabbani (Шаблон:Lang-ar / ALA-LC: Abū Khalīl al-Qabbānī; 1835–1902) was a Syrian playwright and composer of Turkish origin.[1] He is considered to be the founder of the short musical play (similar to an operetta)[2] in Arabic theatre. His play Abu al-Hassan al-Mughaffal caused a wave of protest as a result of his mockery of Caliph Harun al-Rashid.
He used to give female roles in his plays to younger boys with high pitched voices because women were not allowed to act in theatre, this enraged religious figured who sent a delegation to complain to the caliph and this ended with a decree by the Ottoman government to close his theatre, the only Avant Garde theatre in the region,[3] and prevent theatrical performances in Syria.[2]
After that, Qabbani left for Egypt and produced his plays there until 1900. He returned to Syria and died two years later in 1902.[2] He dreamt of establishing a Broadway district in Damascus,[3] He is considered the "Father of Syrian theatre", and has influenced later generations including the Syrian actor Duraid Lahham.[2] His brother is the grandfather of poet Nizar Qabbani and diplomat Sabah Qabbani. He also performed in Turkey and America.
