The Royal Opera House Muscat, Oman The Royal Opera House Muscat in Oman, which has recently opened, is one of the most impressive arts buildings in the Middle East. Occupying 80,000 square metres in all, the complex houses the concert hall, luxury stores, restaurants and extensive landscaped gardens. The concert hall can seat an audience of approximately 1,100. In the area of the stage, there is what is described as a 'movable acoustic shell', which staff can adjust to allow for events and audiences of different sizes. The architects have included many luxurious features in the interior of the complex, such as inlaid marble and hand-carved wood. WATG, the design team behind the project, have been creating buildings of distinction for close to 70 years. They pride themselves on 'cultural authenticity and environmental sensitivity, and it is clear, even from a distance, that they have achieved a successful blend of Omani tradition and contemporary style. The designers have used local limestone for the exterior, and this creates both an impressive architectural structure and one that is perfectly in keeping with its environment.
witness with a unique perspective Yann Arthus-Bertrand can look back on an eclectic career that has mixed art, business, journalism and environmental campaigning. It was a trip with his wife to Africa, where he filmed lions in the Maasai Mara Reserve from a hot air balloon, that inspired Yann's most famous work, Earth from the air. The work is a photographic collection of aerial photographs, which has been exhibited around the world. In a project that spanned 15 years and 76 countries, he and his team compiled thousands of fabulous shots, 160 of which formed the exhibition and have been included in books, calendars, diaries and DVDs. Is it art? (1) "The Earth is art, the photographer is only a witness. But the photographs also carry a strong message: 'Here is nature at its most beautiful; please do not allow its destruction at the hands of man'. Finding the artist inside him has been a journey of discovery. At first, photography was simply a means to observe and record animal behaviour, but once in the air, he realised that aerial photography could discover things that are not apparent from the ground and tell a story about life that hasn't yet been told. (2) Inevitably, this unique perspective has become more relevant as the questions of climate change and diminishing global resources have increased, both in importance and urgency. In 2005, Yann founded the international ecologists association, GoodPlanet. (3) It also sets up education programmes to help children become more aware of environmental issues. Educating the next generation is very important to A him and his dream is for photography to be taught in schools one day, alongside maths and spelling because, There is nothing more universal than photography'. Most recently, he has directed a film called Home (produced by Luc Besson) which uses aerial images to show the disastrous effect that unbridled consumerism is having on the planet. Devastated rainforests make way for soy bean crops and industrial-scale cattle ranches, in order to meet the developed world's demand for beef. Major rivers that once raged in full flow are reduced to a trickle which never makes it to the sea. 'The Earth is art, the photographer is only a witness. Screened on World Environment Day in June 2009, Home was met with both gasps of amazement at its beauty and of horror at its revelations. (4) Yann Arthus-Bertrand has done more than share his perspective on the endless variety and magnificence of nature. He has opened the world's eyes to how we humans are squandering that gift. GLOSSARY to inspire (v) - to motivate or move you to do something to compile (v) - to put together a collection perspective (n) - the point from which you look at things consumerism (n) - the act of buying things revelation (n) - fact made known.
The Muscat Festival always starts with a bang - with firework shows in Al Amerat Park and Al Naseem Park. It showcases traditional Omani crafts such as pottery, silverware, basket making and woodwork. But it also includes exciting acrobatic and circus acts. An important event on the Festival calendar is the Tour of Oman a cycling race which attracts top riders from around the world. There is also Muscat Fashion Week, which brings together designers from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Jordan, Tunisia and Morocco. And then there's the food festival. This includes live cookery shows of traditional Omani recipes, such as shuwa (a dish prepared in an underground clay oven), but also features dishes from many other countries. B 2099 WOMAD (World of Music, Arts and Dance) began in the UK in 1982. Since then, the organisation has held festivals in 27 countries. WOMAD Abu Dhabi takes place every year, and visitors get the chance to see visual arts and hear performers from more than 35 countries. The festival is free and the organisers pride themselves on providing entertainment for the whole family. A feature of WOMAD festivals is the opportunity to experience different cultures through the acts themselves, as well as food from many different parts of the world. For many, though, it's all about the music and it's a chance to discover sounds from just about every part of the planet.
Recently, I was lucky enough to attend a production of War Horse at the New London Theatre in the capital's West End. The play is an adaptation of a book by Michael Morpugo, which tells a very moving story set in the First World War. The plot is simple. A young boy, Albert, gets a horse, Joey, and the two become inseparable. At the start of the war, however, Albert's family sells Joey to the army and the horse ends up involved in the fighting in France. As soon as he is old enough, Albert becomes a soldier and goes off to fight, but we know that the main reason for doing so is because he hopes to be re-united with his horse. The acting is fine and the characters are mostly convincing. What sets this play apart from others, though, is the brilliant work by the Handspring puppet company, who created the horses. After a few minutes, you are no longer aware of the fact that the horses are puppets operated by people - they seem to take on a life of their own. The effect of seeing this on the stage is quite breathtaking. Many people will know the story of War Horse from the Steven Spielberg film, but if you get the chance to see the stage production, then go. It is a performance you will be glad you saw.
It is commonly believed that art should be available for everyone. In my opinion, museum entry should be free because this gives everyone the opportunity to learn about their history and culture, even if they don't have a lot of money. Firstly, museums display artefacts, paintings, photos and other objects. They are places where art and history come alive. Without museums, people can only learn about things from pictures. Nowadays, we can find anything on the internet, which is free. Since museums are expensive, people are more likely to think that it is better and cheaper to look at photos online. This isn't the same as the real thing, so making museums free helps people to understand art and culture better. Although museums are expensive to maintain, more people would visit them if they were free. Children could go when they finish school or at weekends. As a result, museums could get more donations to help with the costs. They could ask people to offer a donation to enter, or only charge on certain days of the week. In conclusion, it is clear to me that allowing people free entry to museums is a good thing. Even if it is only at certain times or on certain days, it would benefit society and allow people to learn more about their culture and history.
Intelligent travel A couple of months ago, one of our editors, Janelle Nanos, took a long-planned trip to Cabo San Lucas în Baja California, Mexico. Cabo has been experiencing mass tourism growth-hotels, apartments, golf courses. But Nanos found surviving parts of the real Baja to experience: kayaking near the sea lions, visiting the art town of Todos Santos, finding a wild beach and attending a local football game full of cheering Mexicans. On the flight home, she chatted with her fellow passenger, learning what he had done at Cabo: sunbathing on the resort's beach and enjoying the restaurants. (1) I remember a friend and colleague who loved Baja California, back before the highway was paved, before the cruise ships, before the hotel developments. 'Please don't write about it, she begged everyone. 'I don't want it discovered. But it doesn't work that way. (2) ☐ The travel writer's dilemma: 'If we do a story, will we ruin the place? has evolved into a travel philosophy for all of us: If we write, if we go, if we build, we must do it well or lose it all. And if we don't go, we could lose it all as well. Tourism can provide a much-needed economic alternative to communities who will otherwise turn their attention to less environmentally-friendly activities: surface mining (not outdoor recreation), new apartment blocks (not a restored historic district), dynamite reef fishing (not snorkel trips).
