Qatar Foundation’s Pre-University Education will soon launch the national operetta Qatar Jannah, and the event already highlights Qatar’s cultural spirit. The production gathers students from many QF schools, and it aims to celebrate Qatari identity with strong artistic energy. Moreover, the project brings students together on one stage to express pride in their heritage, which again reflects Qatar’s cultural spirit.
The operetta will take place on December 11 and 13 at Qatar National Convention Centre. Each day will include two shows. The first show runs from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., while the second show runs from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. Before each public show, students and families can join exciting pre-show activities. These activities include the traditional Qatari Ardah, along with fun entertainment moments led by Siraj, QF’s well-known educational program. Children will also meet Rashid and Noora, who will guide them through the event.
Buthina Al Derham, Director of Communications and Outreach at QF’s Pre-University Education, said the operetta strengthens unity across QF schools. She explained that the project offers one shared space where students can express their identity through art. Furthermore, she noted that the operetta connects students with national values and inspires them to deepen their sense of belonging.
She added that the production highlights teamwork across QF schools. Each school contributed creative ideas, and the team shaped those ideas into one script. This script brings everyone together while still keeping every school’s unique touch.
Azlaa Hamad Al Qahtani, Head of Culture and Identity, said the project supports shared learning and celebrates cultural diversity within one national vision. She explained that students gain many skills through this experience. They learn teamwork, responsibility, and discipline. They also gain confidence because they perform in front of a large audience. Additionally, they use the Arabic language in expressive and creative ways, which strengthens cultural understanding.
Al Qahtani noted that the operetta blends heritage with modern creativity. Students present scenes inspired by Qatari history while using new artistic tools. This mix helps them understand that identity grows in daily life and shapes values and behavior.
In conclusion, strong student engagement shows deep excitement for this production. The enthusiasm also reflects Qatar’s cultural spirit, which continues to inspire pride, unity, and national awareness through art.
