Einstein's original 'E=mc2' notes on display in Israel pavilion

SHANGHAI - Israel's artists joined with Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra members to give performances at the Expo Center on Thursday evening, celebrating Israel's National Pavilion Day at Expo 2010 Shanghai.

The show, titled "The Spirit of Israel", featured Israel's distinguished counter-tenor David D'Or and the Hora Jerusalem Dance Troupe, in cooperation with the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra. Combining ancient and modern traditions and innovations, the show represented the dialogue among Israel's various cultures and the country's relationship with China.

D'Or, whose voice has a range of four octaves, once performed for the King of Thailand and The Pope at the Vatican. The show was his first performance in Shanghai. With his voice, style and musical range, D'Or sang many Jewish and world music classics, including Nessun Dorma and Memory from the Broadway musical Cats.
