A royal début
The Royal Opera House Muscat has officially opened the box office for its 2019-2020 season with tickets will go on-sale July 29 for its season-opener performance of Georges Bizet’s iconic opera ‘Carmen’. Performed by the Teatro Colón Buenos Aires and conducted by Antonello Allemandi, ‘Carmen’ returns with original set-pieces from ROHM’s inaugural season, alongside inspired choreography by the Antonio Gadès Company. José Cura, one of the greatest tenors of our time, will sing the role of Don José, a naïve soldier who loses his heart to the capricious gypsy, Carmen, sung by charismatic mezzo-soprano Elena Maximova. ‘Carmen’ will run from September 11-14, and the show starts at 7:00 p.m. For more information or to book your tickets visit www.rohmuscat.org.om.
