The company stated, “due to our ongoing commitment to the health and wellbeing of our patrons, all activities for the remainder of the 2019/2020 season are cancelled. This is due to the public health and travel measures which have been put in place to address the threat of COVID-19, Novel Coronavirus”

The company also noted, “all guided tours at the Royal Opera House Muscat and the House of Musical Arts will also be cancelled until further notice.”

The Greek National Opera, Seoul Arts Center, and New National Theatre, Tokyo have also closed due to the outbreak.
