While showtimes can vary, do remember there’s a strict dress code for those attending; attire that’s not allowed includes tee shirts, jeans, and tennis shoes!

Built by Royal Decree

The construction of the Royal Opera House Muscat followed an order bySultan Qaboos of Oman.

The performance season generally runs from September to June with around six operas presented as part of the line-up. Visitors can also look forward to ballet, classical music, musical theatre and more. Apart from Plácido Domingo, Andrea Bocelli, Mariinsky Ballet (performing Swan Lake) and YoYo Ma have performed here.

The Opera Galleria

Shopping in Oman can be enjoyed at the Opera Galleria which can be found at this venue with retailers offering fashion, jewelry, souvenirs, traditional crafts and perfume. There are also several charming restaurants and cafes serving local and international cuisine, which add to the site’s allure.
