MUSCAT: Symbolising a delightful symmetry in the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Royal Opera House Muscat (ROHM), an exhibition was opened at the House on Sunday on the late Franco Zeffirelli, stage director of the 2011 inaugural opera Turandot.
Zeffirelli is one of the most celebrated designers and directors of his era whose illustrious career spanned seven decades. Delve into Zeffirelli’s imagination through this exhibition of artefacts designed especially for the Royal Opera House Muscat.
The Artistic World of Franco Zeffirelli, being held at the Exhibition Hall in the Royal Opera House of Musical Arts till March 20, comprises original sketches, costumes, films and models, as well as many others on display in public for the first time.
Among Zeffirelli’s world class opera productions explored here will be Turandot and Rigoletto, commissioned especially by ROHM, along with his production of Tosca at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, featuring Maria Callas, La Bohème at Teatro alla Scala, Milan, and Falstaff at the Metropolitan Opera, New York. - ONA
