Rostam and Sohrab is an opera by Loris Tjeknavorian.
It is based on the story Rostam and Sohrab in the epic Shahnameh.
In 1963, Carl Orff granted Loris Tjeknavorian a scholarship which allowed him to reside in Salzburg and to complete his opera in Austria.
Iranian director Behrouz Gharibpour brought Rostam and Sohrab to the stage as a puppet show in October 2006.
The show involves 100 marionettes and 15 puppeteers and it was first performed in Tehran's Ferdowsi Hall in 2005.
