Royal Opera House Muscat is the leading arts and
culture organization in the Sultanate of Oman. Located in Muscat, Oman, the
vision of the Opera House is to serve as a centre of excellence in global
cultural engagement. It strive to enrich lives through diverse artistic,
cultural, and educational programs.
The leadership of the Royal Opera House Muscat
is guided by the vision of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said. At His Majesty’s
directives a High Committee, spearheaded by His Highness Sayyid Fahad Al-Said,
Deputy Prime Minister for the Council of Ministers, was formed to follow the
progress of this initiative since its inception.
The Higher Committee is responsible for shaping
the vision of the organization and considering the policies, strategies and
guidelines recommended by the Board of Directors, chaired by Her Excellency Dr.
Rawya Al Busaidi, Minister of Higher Education.
The multidisciplinary work of Royal Opera House
Muscat showcases rich and diverse artistic creations from Oman, the region, and
the world; provides a space for culture and socioeconomic development
reflections and actions; inspires audiences and nurtures creativity with
innovative programs; fosters cultural vitality and unleashes talent; promotes
cultural tourism; and puts cultural diplomacy into practice by reinvigorating
global and multi-disciplinary collaborations and exchanges.
Established by Royal Decree, Royal Opera House
Muscat is an influential arts and culture platform that enhances Oman’s
international reputation and reinforces its niche offerings. The organization
serves as a laboratory for creativity and intellectual exchanges; and its
high-tech venue pays tribute to and presents diverse artistic and cultural
expressions from the Sultanate, the region, and the world.
A towering beacon shedding light on the various
trends of the Renaissance march towards growth, Royal Opera House Muscat is an
illustration of the undivided attention that His Majesty has devoted to the
cultural sector since the new dawn of the Sultanate. His Majesty has repeatedly
asserted that the human being is not only the ultimate goal of any development
process, but also its instrument and means. Therefore, sustained investment in
educational and cultural infrastructures to promote the wellbeing of the Omani
citizens, while strengthening the pillars of the modern State, is a high
priority on the list of noble goals that His Majesty seeks to achieve.
From this perspective and in order to promote
the Sultanate’s cultural heritage and artistic engagement, Royal Directives were
issued to develop a set of structures to broaden people’s participation in
cultural life. Royal Opera House Muscat has emerged as the leading open house
for arts and culture in the country. It was initially conceived in 2001 as the
house for musical arts and its development over a decade underwent several
changes reflecting the modernist vision of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos and other
requirements that enabled the Royal Court Affairs, with the assistance of
various technical experts, to build what is now viewed as a milestone in the
evolution of an Omani architectural style.
The newly completed building is a fusion of
Omani tradition and modernity. The construction of this iconic and majestic
Royal Opera House Muscat building with stunning handmade ornaments, including
the sophistication of its rich interior, is in many ways an embodiment of such
complexity and multiplicity of references witnessed in Omani architecture.
