Visit the Royal Opera House

Opened in 2011, it blends contemporary Omani design with traditional craftsmanship, from intricate wood carvings to polished marble interiors. A guided visit offers insight into the vision behind its creation, as well as access to the grand auditorium, elegant arcades and landscaped gardens.

More than a performance venue, the Opera House reflects Oman’s commitment to the arts and international exchange. Depending on the schedule, you may glimpse rehearsals or learn about the diverse programme of opera, ballet and concerts hosted here. It offers a refined contrast to Muscat’s historic forts and souqs, highlighting another facet of the capital’s identity.
