Opera house, last glance

The Royal Opera House Muscat was designed by the same architects who did the Grand Mosque and was completed in 2011. Some of the most famous names in opera and ballet performed the inaugural year in a world-class program, and the quality of production has won international acclaim.

This is one side of the opera house with the lights reflecting in the very shiny pavement in front of it. Amazingly enough, it's not wet and definitely not water.

I have posted eight pictures of the opera house today. This is another one from the front of the building:
