Royal Opera House Muscat To Go Digital With ‘From Our Stage To Your Home’ Initiative

The Royal Opera House Muscat announced a new digital initiative entitled ‘From our Stage to your Home’.

This project heralds the beginning of a long-term programme that presents world-class classical music to the Omani people and a wide global online audience.

To launch this exciting digital season a series of three concerts have been recorded, entitled Pathways through Classical Music.

Pathways through Classical Music, as a series, explores the popular Western classical repertoire and a blend of new compositions from the region. The three concerts comprise an opening programme presented by the Royal Oman Symphony Orchestra, followed by an orchestral and choral concert with the Muscat Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the Opera Choir Group, featuring their first performance at the opera house.

The series will close with a special final concert performed by the Royal Oman Symphony Orchestra once again. All three performances are conducted by Maestro Hamdan Al Shaeely.

Each concert has been pre-recorded on the stage at the opera house, adhering strictly to the rules governing such proceedings as laid out by the COVID-19 Supreme Committee guidelines.

The audiences at home are invited to view the concerts online on the dates they are streamed as the first and only audience to each performance, the concerts will then be available to view on our channel archives.

‘From our Stage to your Home’ is designed to appeal to a cross-generational viewership who are at leisure to enjoy the performances from the comfort of their own homes.

The Royal Opera House Muscat is thrilled to be opening up to both new and loyal listeners with a series, which celebrates the culture of classical music, supports the musical talent of Oman, and shares this celebration with an audience that extends to every corner of the world.

The concerts will be available to watch at home exclusively via the Royal Opera House Muscat website and YouTube and Facebook channels.

Performances will be premiering online on the following dates: Royal Oman Symphony Orchestra, Sunday 4th April, 7.30 pm; Muscat Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Opera Choir Group, Sunday 23rd May, 7.30 pm; and, Royal Oman Symphony Orchestra, Sunday 20th June, 7.30 pm.
