Tonight in Oman…

It was a delight to watch opera legend Placido Domingo conduct the Royal Oman Symphony Orchestra tonight at the Royal Opera House in Muscat. The program included Beethoven and Tchaikovsky and featured the exceptionally talented (and young) pianist Beatrice Rana (23 years old!). During his performance earlier this week and his conducting tonight, I enjoyed seeing Domingo make the hand gesture above when he received applause and showed appreciation to his fellow performers (and the audience). Below is a video of Rana performing Tchaikovsky beautifully — as she did tonight in the Sultanate of Oman.
