Peshawar’s lone theatre echoes with melodies

PESHAWAR: A troupe of eight artists comprising three singers and five instrumentalists from Lahore, Rawalpindi and Islamabad enthralled Peshawarites on Monday night.
The Urdu ghazal night was organised by Pakistan National Council of Arts (PNCA) in collaboration with culture directorate of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa at Nishtar Hall to boost the soft image of the country and promote unity and patriotism among the people.
The entertainment-starved audience tuned to dance in the jam-packed hall and showered accolades on the guest singers for their well-articulated performance.
Some enthusiastic music lovers kept on tossing their heads while others kept saying encore after every performance. The mixed melodies of Urdu, Punjabi and Pashto ghazals and folk songs brought a joy and pleasure to the terrorism-affected Peshawarites.
