TURANDOT

Art & Design Competition

Background

The Royal Opera: House of Musical Arts will be hosting in January 2019 a special exhibition: Opera: 400 years of Passion. Created in London by the Victoria and Albert Museum in September 2017, the exhibition retraces the story of operatic masterpieces in their cultural and historical context. In Muscat, the exhibition will show opera's journey from 17th century Venice to the creation of Puccini's Turandot which inaugurated the Royal Opera House Muscat in 2011.

Throughout the exhibition, you will encounter cities and stories from various places and times across Europe. You will also explore the process behind creating an opera, from composing to staging and singing.

The aim of the Art & Design Competition is to bring together performing arts and design, nurturing the cultural platform in Oman, by discovering new artists and designers and fostering their talents. Opera brings together multiple art forms in a total work of art, and this competition is your opportunity to try your hand at designing for Opera.

The best artworks will be displayed at ROHM for three weeks within the Opera: 400 Years of Passion exhibition (17th January-14th March 2019)

Opening of the Exhibition will be on 23rd of February during the Open House Map of The World.
