O
Rýchle fakty: Jeho zdobená fasáda spája ománsku pevnostnú architektúru s talianskym mramorom a plátkovým zlatom, čo je kombinácia, ktorú inde nenájdete. Audiťórium s 1 100 miestami hostí všetko od tradičných ománskych tancov s ťavou až po Viedenských filharmonikov.
Zaujímavosti: Prejdite cez hlavné foyer a všimnete si jemnú vôňu kadidla šíriacu sa vzduchom, zmyslový odkaz na staroveké obchodné dedičstvo Ománu. Na mieru vyrobený organ s 3 736 píšťalami bol navrhnutý tak, aby dokonale harmonizoval s arabskými maqamovými stupnicami aj západnými klasickými skladbami, čo bol počin, ktorého realizácia trvala tri roky.
Insiderské tipy
- Skip the self-guided option and book the English guided tour to access the main auditorium and royal salon, which are often closed to unaccompanied visitors.
- Photographers should aim for the exterior at sunset when the white marble glows pink against the darkening Omani sky.
- Dress smart casual with covered shoulders and knees; men in collared shirts and women in modest dress are the norm here.
- Check the calendar for free public events like the annual Oman International Music Festival, which sometimes offers open rehearsals.
