Muscat: As the Royal Opera House Muscat (ROHM) draws the curtain on its extraordinary 2024–2025 season, the month of May promises an unmissable celebration of musical diversity, artistic mastery, and unforgettable experiences.
World-renowned conductor Plácido Domingo returns to ROHM to lead Verdi’s iconic opera La Traviata on May 1 and 3, a stunning production by director Marta Domingo with Juliana Grigoryan singing Violetta and Yusif Eyvasov singing Alfredo. Pre-performance talks will be offered to ticket holders only, providing a deeper look into the music, themes, and vision behind this operatic masterpiece.
Over the same weekend, the excitement continues with a Gala Symphony Concert in two parts on May 2, reflecting the depth of ROHM’s musical reach. Hamdan Al Shuaili, conductor of the Royal Oman Symphony Orchestra, leads the first half, followed by a grand second act conducted by Plácido Domingo—a true meeting of regional and international excellence on one stage.
Cultural fusion takes centre stage on May 8 and 9, with Memories of Alhambra, a new ROHM production blending Arabic musical heritage with the passion and rhythm of flamenco, performed by the acclaimed Compañía Flamenca Antonio Andrade.
The season closes on a high note with a spectacular concert by Lebanese superstar Ragheb Alama, offering fans two nights, 23 and 24 May, of beloved hits and timeless charisma.
This exceptional month captures the spirit of a season filled with innovation, tradition, and world-class artistry. Audiences are encouraged to seize this final opportunity before ROHM opens a new chapter in October.
