(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- To engage Omani students in Royal Opera House Muscat's (ROHM) performances and to offer them the opportunity to experience world class singing and acting first hand, ROHM invited 50 Omani theatre lovers to perform as extras in the opera Aida which was held recently.
The participants were selected through applications invited from across Oman. Those interested in participating were asked to apply according to the required conditions. ROHM received hundreds of applications of which 50 were chosen, stated a press release.
The selected candidates were put through an intensive training programme under the supervision of experts. The programme was designed to prepare the candidates for the responsibility and artistic requirement of their roles.
The opera Aida tells the story of an Ethiopian princess and her love for an Egyptian military commander named Radames.
Aida has been captured and serves in the Egyptian royal household and must choose between her new love and her father. The opera was written by Giuseppe Verdi, arguably the most popular composer in the world and was performed by some of the most famous stars in opera today from the Teatro Regio Torino. This successful initiative will extend to include upcoming performances at the ROHM.
