Bushra El-Turk’s Silk Moth opera which powerfully deals with the issue of so-called honour killings has been nominated for an IKWRO True Honour Awards 2016.
Bushra El-Turk’s opera is at once aesthetically intelligent and culturally engaged…Silk Moth” was the most significant debut overheard by this journalist in 2015… a necessarily intense musical and dramatic experience…a well-wrought piece of composition, powerfully performed.’
– Jim Quilty, Beirut Daily Star
