Muscat: The Royal Opera House Muscat (ROHM) has been hosting its annual summer camp since June 23rd, with this year's focus on the Animal World. The camp offers seven diverse workshops that will culminate in a performance titled Animal World – Wild on Stage! on July 4 at 5pm in the main ROHM theatre. The camp aims to inspire children through various musical and artistic disciplines, with a strong emphasis on nature and the environment.
Children aged 7 to 14 in Muscat can participate in workshops such as drama, singing, circus, theatre-dance, drums, props, and technology. These sessions are led by a team of international and local educators under the guidance of the director, Alessandra Premoli. Experts from Italy and Morocco are leading the music, circus, and dance theatre workshops, while local educators such as YouThinkers for drama, tunes for drums, and Mohamed Al Sulaimi for Technology bring their expertise to the remaining workshops.
In collaboration with Be'ah - Oman Environmental Services Holding Company, the Props workshop aims to educate children about recycling and the environmental impact of our actions, aligning with the overarching theme of respect for nature.
Partnering with Oman’s leading environmental company underscores the importance of providing children with quality workshops led by trained experts.
Alessandra Premoli, the director of this year's summer camp, shares, "We are currently in the second week of our workshops, and it has been truly inspiring to witness the children rapidly acquiring new skills and enhancing their knowledge of theatre. Collaborating with kids from diverse age groups and backgrounds has been a rewarding experience. The theme for this year, centered around the animal kingdom, has sparked their creativity and offered a stimulating educational adventure. I am eagerly anticipating the final performance on July 4th."
The climax of our fortnight program will be a spectacular show on July 4th at 5pm. Under the direction of Alessandra Premoli and the instructors, Animal World – Wild on Stage! will highlight the skills and imagination of the kids, honed during their involvement in the workshops.
