Don and I visited the Royal Opera House Muscat in November to hear the BBC Symphony Orchestra perform a selection of three different classic composers. We really enjoyed the evening. However, I can't share the music with you, but I can share the pictures that we took of the magnificent building. We dressed up, of course, long dress and suit, which is very appropriate for the magnificence of the building.
There is a magnificent pipe organ installed in the Opera House; pictures are not allowed inside the actual concert hall. I know I'm using superlatives a lot, but it truly is a beautiful building and a mark of pride for the Omani's. We really enjoyed the evening!
