Synopsis
This book relates the story of the establishment of the Royal Opera House Muscat as one of the great achievements of the Renaissance that was ushered in forty-five years ago when His Majesty Sultan Qaboos acceded to the throne of the Sultanate of Oman in the summer of 1970. In a remarkably short period of time, an advanced nation was built on the foundations of a proud history. In contrast to the middle decades of the twentieth century, Oman today has a strong, sustainable economy and a fully modern infrastructure, including state-of-the-art transportation and communication systems, as well as first-rate facilities for universal healthcare and a comprehensive system of education. The Renaissance is, at the same time, characterised by cultural efflorescence. While preserving the country's traditional heritage and culture, His Majesty introduced new forms of music to further enrich the cultural life of the nation. The history of the Royal Opera House is intimately linked with the evolution of music in modern Oman, which in turn is anchored in the nation's rich musical heritage.

Hardcover. Condition: Neu. "Wer sich auf eine Urlaubsreise in den Oman inklusive Opernbesuch einstimmen möchte, kann dies mit diesem wunderbaren Buch aufs Beste tun. Man erfährt viel Wissenswertes über dieses ungewöhnliche Land." (Andrea Raab, Das Orchester) "Ein faszinierender Prachtband" Prof. Bernhard Fabian, Buchwissenschaftler Der hochwertig ausgestattete und bebilderte Band erzählt die Geschichte der Entstehung des Royal Opera House Muscat", seiner Architektur und grandiosen Innenausstattung samt neuester Bühnentechnik. Es gilt als Bauwerk mit Vorbildcharakter einer neuen Epoche, die von Sultan Qabus eingeleitet wurde, als er im Sommer 1970 die Herrschaft über das Sultanat Oman erlangte. In einer bemerkenswert kurzen Zeit bildete sich eine moderne Nation auf dem Fundament einer stolzen Vergangenheit. Das Sultanat Oman verfügt heute über eine starke und nachhaltige Wirtschaft mit einer modernen Infrastruktur, die gesundheitliche Versorgung sowie das umfassende Bildungssystem sind erstklassig. Die Herrschaft von Sultan Qabus ist zugleich auch eine Zeit kultureller Blüte. Neben der Bewahrung des traditionellen kulturellen Erbes führte Sultan Qabus auch neue Formen der Musik ein, um das kulturelle Leben der Nation weiter zu bereichern. Das vielfältige Programm des Royal Opera House Muscat" bietet grandiose Aufführungen aus dem Oman, der Region und der Welt. Seit seiner Entstehung gastierten Größen wie Placido Domingo, Diana Krall und Wynton Marsalis ebenso wie das Wiener Staatsballett, die Mailänder Scala und Ensembles aus Asien und Südamerika.
