The Royal Opera House Muscat (ROHM) will present this Sunday the sparkling concert of Giuseppe Verdi’s great genius, with arias and duets selected from some of his most popular works, such as Nabucco, Il Trovatore and many others.

In the world of opera, Verdi is recognised as the leading composer of the nineteenth-century's Italian opera and he is universally admired for a richness and depth of dramatic characterisation in musical expression, an innovation with which he transformed traditional Italian opera.

Singers from those performing in Rigoletto are accompanied by the Orchestra and Chorus of Fondazione Arena di Verona under the baton of Jan Latham-Koenig.

The concert is enhanced by the participation of the Omani Opera Choir Group, an elite choir of Omani singers who have been vigorously trained in classical singing and represent the capacity and depth of Oman’s cultural development.

The Fondazione Arena di Verona is an acclaimed company, hailing from Italy. It is famous throughout the world for its season of outdoor productions in the Arena, where performances have taken place for 1990 years since its construction in 30 AD between the reign of Augustus and Claudius. The arena is the largest Roman amphitheatre still in use and the Fondazione celebrates 98 Opera Seasons and 107 years since the first edition of the Festival. The programme for the concert honouring Verdi touches on some of the most beautiful moments across his opera canon.

All visits to the opera house are conducted under the guidelines of the Supreme Committee Tasked with tackling developments resulting from the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. Social distancing is maintained throughout the building, as wearing facemasks is mandatory.
