The Royal Opera House Muscat and Teatro La Fenice have met to discuss future collaborations.

On a recent visit to Teatro La Fenice his Highness Sayyid Dr. Kamil Fahad Al Said, the Secretary General in the General Secretariat for the Council of Ministers and Member of the Board of Directors of Royal Opera House Muscat met with Fortunato Ortombina, General Manager and Artistic Director of La Fenice. The two leaders discussed plans to enhance collaborative ties, the development of specific projects, stage technologies, and new audience development strategies, especially designed to engage youth. Building on Teatro La Fenice’s “L’Elisir d’Amore” tour in Oman in 2016, the discussion included a focus on future possibilities such as residencies for the coming 2025-26 season.

“On behalf of Royal Opera House Muscat, I would like to express my grateful thanks for this wonderful opportunity to further ties between our two opera houses,” said Dr. Kamil Fahad Al Said in a press statement. Ortombina gave a similar quote saying, “Royal Opera House Muscat has firmly established its status as a premier venue internationally. We take immense pride in the success achieved with our collaborative productions in the past. It is truly gratifying to access insights from His Highness Sayyid Dr. Kamil Al Said regarding the
innovative strategies and initiatives of Royal Opera House Muscat in recent years. We hope that the collaboration between our two institutions continues in the years to come.”
