KUWAIT CITY - Arab Today
Flames ripped through Kuwait’s new opera house on Monday, just three months after the futuristic $770-million venue opened to the public.
A thick plume of black smoke rose from the waterfront Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Cultural Center, television footage showed.
Firefighters on a crane sprayed water onto the building, a structure covered with geometric Islamic patterns.
Broadway musical “Cats” was due to open there on Thursday, according to the center’s website.
