See a Show at the Royal Opera House Muscat

The late His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said conceived of the modern Royal Oman Opera House Muscat. The Opera House is the primary site of cultural interaction in Oman. It provides a variety of cultural acts as well as educational events. The Royal Opera House is a great architectural marvel to appreciate, from the legendary American jazz performer Chick Korea to the yearly military music performance held in honour of Oman's National Day.

The facility can seat up to 1100 people and includes a theatre, auditorium, manicured gardens, an art center, and cultural markets. Sultan Qaboos of Oman, a major fan of classical music and art, authorized the construction of the Royal Opera House in 2001. The house, which formally opened in 2011, serves as a center for artistic excellence and enriches its legacy via culturally varied programs and activities.

The mission of the Royal Opera House Muscat's Education and Community Outreach Department is to build strong bridges with all walks of life, educational institutions, and cultural organizations through a variety of educational programs and activities designed to enrich the general public and audience about the importance of arts, music, and culture in their lives. Pre-performance Talks, seminars, workshops, open house events, educational presentations, playbill and newspaper articles, special students and family activities are among their programming.
