Watch: Opera singers perform Therezin lullaby under Iran missiles

Watch: Opera singers perform Therezin lullaby under Iran missiles

A group of singers rehearsing an October 7 memorial concert were forced to take shelter yesterday in the basement of the Israel Opera as 181 ballistic missiles from Iran rained down. Underground, they carried on singing a lullaby from the Terezin concentration camp.

The conductor, Hannie Ricardo, was organising the event in memory of her daughter Oriyah, who was murdered by Hamas attackers on October 7. Oriyah was 26.
