Adjacent to the Royal Opera in Muscat (Oman), the new House of Musical Arts was inaugurated last Tuesday by the Royal Oman Symphony Orchestra, the Opera Choir Group and the Military Choir of the Royal Guard of Oman as well as the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, with the Georgian soprano Nino Machaidze and Mexican tenor Ramon Vargas. The concert was performed under the baton of the Italian conductor Giuseppe Finzi.
The House of Musical Arts is a new addition to the Royal Opera House Muscat, which was inaugurated eight years ago. It will be a center for different forms of art and music complementing the Royal Opera House Muscat’s objective to present a diverse program of music performances. The House of Musical Arts will celebrate other cultural aspects by holding permanent and temporary culture and arts exhibitions, in addition to hosting seminars highlighting the evolution of art and its impact on world history.
Located along the main complex of the Royal Opera House Muscat across the street, the House of Musical Arts is an elegant building connected to the Opera Galleria by a pedestrian bridge. The building introduces a unique architecture and design, combining Eastern with Western influences and traditional construction with modern techniques.
