The Nightingale of Iran Live Show
Danielle Dardashti and Dr. Galeet Dardashti
It was a golden age for Jews in Iran. In the 1950s, a religious Jew – Younes Dardashti – became a national celebrity, singing at the Shah’s palace and on the radio. In the 1960s, his son Farid became a teen idol on TV. They were beloved by Iranian Muslims. But at the height of their fame, they left the country. It was always a mystery to Danielle and Galeet Dardashti – Why did their family leave Iran? Now, in this moving LIVE show based on their chart-topping podcast, the sisters reveal painful secrets unspoken for generations. The Nightingale of Iran is a story that will resonate with outsiders everywhere.
