In a landmark announcement Diriyah Company, alongside the Royal Commission for Riyadh City, announced a cultural milestone–the inception of Saudi Arabia’s first opera house, the Royal Diriyah Opera House.
Designed by the world-renowned architectural firm Snøhetta, the Royal Diriyah Opera House will be built in the heart of Diriyah, the Saudi capital city’s 300-year-old heritage quarters and the birthplace of the Kingdom.
A testament to the Kingdom’s commitment to celebrating its rich culture and heritage, the opera house will serve as a platform for a diverse program of cultural performances, reinforcing Diriyah’s mission to catalyse cultural exchange and engagement.
The Royal Diriyah Opera House is poised to become a cornerstone of the Diriyah master plan’s second phase.
Spanning an impressive 45,000 square meters, it aims to shine as a symbol of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and establish Diriyah as a pivotal axis of global culture and innovation.
