Omar Khayyam inspires many
19.06.2009On July 5th the Nederlands Kamerkoor will present a programme of choral works based around the Persian poet and scientist Omar Khayyam. Throughout the ages Omar Khayyam has inspired many playwrights, film-makers and composers to create new works of art. To illustrate the diversity of these works, we have received permission to reproduce an article entitled “Master of the Show” by Jos Coumans (May 2001).
Unfortunately, we can only offer this article in Dutch. There are other articles available in English, such as this article, published in the Encyclopaedia Iranica, discussing Khayyam’s impact on the literary and social scene abroad.
