The opera is expected to open what will be the 12th edition of this annual festival of culture that seeks to expose that which the island of Gozo is well-known for in the cultural field: opera, music, history, archaeology, trades and traditions. Both representations start at 19.30hrs.The Malta Philharmonic Orchestra, the Teatru Astra Opera Chorus and internationally renowned singers will feature. Booking for "Otello" is now open on 79256897 and 21550985. More details will be available on this website in due course.
