I remember seeing a video of this group a year or so ago, and they had several instruments that looked like those in the picture, and they were engaging in "musical combat" with them (unfortunately, I don't remember how they used them). But, judging from the clip of the performance last weekend, they don't appear to have used any of those in this opera. (And I don't think the stringed instrument is an oud, now. It may be an Indian lute of some kind with a metal resonator attached.)
