Saudi gigaproject developer Diriyah Company is preparing to award the contract to build the Royal Diriyah Opera House project in Diriyah. The opera house will be built by Diriyah Company and operated by the Royal Commission for Riyadh City.  The bid evaluation has reached the final stages and the contract will likely be finalised in March. The project will cover an area of 46,000 square metres and include four venues: a 2,000-seater opera theatre, a 450-seater adaptable theatre, a 450-seater multipurpose theatre and a 450-seater rooftop amphitheatre. The development also includes spaces for a services pavilion and retail facilities. The scheme is part of the second phase of the Diriyah Gate project and is expected to be completed by 2028. The developer launched the project during Diriyah Company’s Bashayer 2023 event. In August last year, the architects had completed the design development work for the Royal Diriyah Opera House project. Oslo-headquartered firm Snohetta leads the project's architectural design. Other firms supporting the development of the project include UK-based firms Plan A Consultants, Arup, Buro Happold, Tricon, Spec Studio and Fractal Landscape; US-based JLL; Germany-headquartered Schlaich Bergermann Partner and Transsolar; UAE-based Penguin Cube and Evergreen Adcon; and Saudi Arabia's Syn Architects, Saudi Diyar and Maha Mullah.   For registration as a supplier: https://www.diriyahksa.com/Account/Register (ICE RIYADH)
