Musical at the the Royal Opera House in Muscat
If You want to see a glamorous show about Omanian history with video installations on the white walls of the Royal Opera House in Mascat, a Musical in several pictures, then try to get a ticket for this new open air event in Muscat!
The
different scenes depict for example the production of francinsense, the
tradition of Beduin tribes, Omanian seafaring or the famous times of
the silk route. The two last pictures celebrate the actual Sultan Qaboos
bin Said , who has been reigning the country since 1970! He has brought
modern times to Oman by covering the country with 3-lane highways ,
initializing modern architecture and opening Oman to the Western world.
He enjoys an immens popularity here...he is in the age of 76. As he has no children Omani people fear about the future of their country after the end of the reign of Sultan Qaboos.
