The experience begins and ends with Mandarin Oriental’s signature warmth, attention to detail, and intuitive service – making it the perfect base for a musical journey that promises to stir the senses.

On either 1 or 3 May, guests can enjoy premium seating for Marta Domingo’s production of Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata with its iconic Verdi score conducted by Plácido Domingo. On 2 May, Plácido Domingo will bring his extraordinary musical legacy to the fore with a magnificent Gala Symphony Concert performed by the Royal Oman Symphony Orchestra. Following the performance, guests will be invited to an intimate meet-and-greet with the Spanish opera singer and conductor. Round-trip transfers to and from the venue ensure a seamless, elegant evening from start to finish.
Plácido Domingo’s career spans more than 60 years and over 150 operatic roles, earning him recognition not only as a tenor of exceptional range and power, but as a global icon of the arts. As one-third of The Three Tenors, alongside José Carreras and the late Luciano Pavarotti, Domingo helped bring opera to new audiences around the world. Their 1990 World Cup concert in Rome became a cultural milestone, watched by millions and redefining the reach of classical music. Today, Domingo continues to inspire with a voice, presence, and talent that transcend generations.
A Night with Plácido Domingo includes a two-night stay in an elegant sea-facing suite, premium seat tickets, a personal meet-and-greet with Plácido Domingo, and round-trip transfers to the Royal Opera House on the event evenings. Guests will also be treated to daily breakfast at Essenza, the hotel’s signature restaurant, and a bespoke welcome amenity that draws inspiration from Omani heritage. With thoughtfully appointed interiors, contemporary details accented by local artistry, and a natural rhythm that mirrors the ocean just beyond the hotel’s doors, every element of the stay has been designed to elevate the senses and honour the significance of this once-in-a-lifetime occasion.
With A Night with Plácido Domingo, Mandarin Oriental, Muscat invites guests to step into a world where music, culture, and luxury intertwine.
