A landmark Indo-Russian artistic collaboration was officially unveiled at a grand ceremony held at the prestigious Armani Hotel, Burj Khalifa. The event marked the announcement of a historic musical undertaking: the creation of Mahabharata, the world’s first opera based on the iconic Indian epic. This visionary project will be composed by acclaimed Russian maestro Igor Evard, with the full support of Indian music composer and cultural leader Dr. Jaan Nissar Lone.

The concept was originally envisioned by renowned Russian religious philosopher Dr. Sergey Dvoryanov, who will also author the opera’s libretto. The realization of this grand cultural project is being made possible through the support and collaboration of Dr. Jaan Nissar Lone, Global President of the BRICS Cultural Media Forum (BCMF) and founder of the ARMS Record Label.
