The 16th of January will open doors to a new exhibition exploring the life and genius of one of Oman’s greatest artistic partners at the Royal Opera House Muscat (ROHM) – Franco Zeffirelli.

Symbolising a delightful symmetry in the celebration of the 10th anniversary, ROHM will present an exhibition on the late Franco Zeffirelli – stage director of the 2011 inaugural opera Turandot.

Zeffirelli is one of the most celebrated designers and directors of his era whose illustrious career has spanned over seven decades. Visitors can delve into Zeffirelli’s imagination through this exhibition of artifacts designed especially for the Royal Opera House Muscat.

Visitors can also enjoy original sketches, costumes, films, and models; many of which are on display in public for the first time.

Among Zeffirelli’s world-class opera productions explored in the Sultanate will be Turandot and Rigoletto, which has been commissioned especially by ROHM, along with his production of Tosca at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, featuring Maria Callas, La Bohème at Teatro alla Scala, Milan, and Falstaff at the Metropolitan Opera, New York.

The exhibition will be launched on the 16th of January, and run until March 20th 2022 at the Exhibition Hall in the Royal Opera House of Musical Arts.

Tickets can be booked online or via the ROHM box office. For more details and information, readers can head to the ROHM website.
