Damascus opera house welcomes first concert since ouster of al-Assad

Syria's national symphony orchestra takes to the stage for its first concert at Damascus opera house since Bashar al-Assad's ouster.

After Islamist-led rebels ousted Assad on December 8, the orchestra's rehearsals and concerts were halted as Syria embarked on a delicate transition away from decades of one-family rule enforced by a repressive security apparatus.
