Overview

The Most Famous Theatrical Rhythm Show in the World.

An inspiring and dynamic smash hit across the globe, using banging, drumming, clapping, and beating rhythms to create musical drama from street junk and everyday life. For almost three decades STOMP! has been entertaining audiences all over the world. Using objects such as plastic bags, brooms and even the kitchen sink as instruments; the junk and clutter of urban life becomes the source of infectious rhythm and wonder. Eight talented performers take the audience on a journey through sound, where rhythm is the only language. STOMP! has been awarded an Obie, an Emmy (for the HBO special Stomp Out Loud) and an Olivier Award.

The legendary rhythm extravaganza is back on tour!

It's the most furious, original and funniest rhythm spectacle on earth: STOMP is a phenomenon! Back on tour, it is guaranteed to make your eyes astonished, your ears ring and your laughing muscles exhausted. Armed with nothing but junk and an unerring sense of rhythm, the wonderfully idiosyncratic STOMP characters explore previously unknown depths of sound while still being as fresh, curious and playful as they were on day one. Let yourself be inspired by the high art of snapping fingers, swinging brooms and rattling garbage cans!

Whether matchboxes, brooms or sinks - the STOMP cosmos is as diverse as it is inexhaustible. In it, everyday things are transformed into singing rubbish and symphonic scrap. What began more than 25 years ago on the streets of Great Britain with hands, feet and a few brooms has long since become a worldwide sound phenomenon: Manhattan renamed 8th Street "Stomp Avenue" and London presented the show with the Olivier Award, the most important British award theater prize.

Venue Info

Royal Opera House Muscat - Muscat
Al Kharjiyah Street

The Royal Opera House Muscat (ROHM) is Oman's premier venue for musical arts and culture. The opera house is located in the Shati Al-Qurm district of Muscat on Sultan Qaboos Street. Built on the royal orders of Sultan Qaboos of Oman, the Royal Opera House reflects unique contemporary Omani architecture and has a capacity to accommodate a maximum of 1,100 people. The opera house complex consists of a concert theatre, auditorium, formal landscaped gardens, cultural market with retail, luxury restaurants and an art centre for musical, theatrical and operatic productions.

History

Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said, who was the ruler of Oman during the opera construction, had been always a fan of classical music and arts. In 2001, the sultan ordered the building of an opera house. Initially called 'House of Musical Arts', the name 'Royal Opera House Muscat (ROHM)' was finally chosen. This opera house, which was built by Carillion Alawi, became the first in the world equipped with Radio Marconi's multimedia interactive display seatback system, Mode23. It was officially opened on October 12, 2011, with a production of the opera Turandot, conducted by Spanish tenor Plácido Domingo.

Prominent guests

The opera house had an impressive first season, with performances by Plácido Domingo, Andrea Bocelli, and soprano Renée Fleming. There have also been music performances by world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma and the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the American Ballet Theatre in a production of Don Quixote, The Paul Taylor Dance Company, the performance of Swan Lake by the Mariinsky Ballet, and trumpeter Wynton Marsalis with New York city's Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra. There have been some Arab artists performing at the opera house as well such as Majida El Roumi as well as a tribute in honour of legendary Arab singer Um Kalthoum. In March 2013, Indian violin icon Dr L. Subramanyam performed at the opera house and described it as the only orchestra in the Middle East composed entirely of musicians from the region.
