Muscat – Cinderella on Ice delighted audiences at the Royal Opera House Muscat over three evening performances on 1, 2 January and a matinee on 3 January, presenting a refined family production that combined figure skating with classical storytelling. The well-known fairytale was brought to life through carefully choreographed skating, elegant costumes, and a musical score that supported the narrative with clarity and warmth.
The production attracted families and visitors of all ages, offering an accessible cultural experience that balanced theatrical tradition with the artistry of ice performance. Audiences followed Cinderella’s journey from hardship to happiness, conveyed through expressive movement and visual design that transformed the stage into a winter setting.
