STAGE PRESENTATION

In this special program held in the Auditorium, the Royal Opera House Muscat technicians take the audience to a magical audio-visual journey behind the scenes as the illusions and mysteries of staging are revealed and productions are brought to life. The artistry involved in staging, lighting, sound, and image projection is explained and demonstrated. The audience witnesses the stunning transformation of the Concert Hall into an Opera Theatre, as the box towers on each side nearest the stage turn inward and the proscenium framing the stage narrows. Meanwhile, the front seating rows drop into garages hidden under the floor and the orchestra pit is revealed. Participants gain an understanding of the stateof-the-art technologies of the ROHM as a world-class opera house, and leave with a greater capacity to appreciate and enjoy future performances at the ROHM.
