10th Edition Of The Three Palaces, Early Opera and Music Festival Is Back
Festivals Malta launched the 10th edition of The Three Palaces, Early Opera and Music Festival, which will take place between the 1st and 12th November.
With the past two editions happening entirely on the digital sphere, the festival now returns in its traditional format.
The festival is envisioned around the premise that “our ordinary is actually extraordinary”, which encourages patrons to appreciate the extraordinary architectural heritage that the Maltese islands boast.
The festival will take place between the 1st and 12th November. The programme includes:
1st – 3rd November
Quatour , Sarah Connolly Recital and Fear and Trust, ORA Singers.
4th and 6th November
Rewwixta – Oratorio by Joseph Vella and Handel’s Opera Partenope.
8th – 9th November
Handel’s Oratorio Belshazzar and ‘Jazz Planets’ with Ronnie Scott’s All Stars.
10th – 12h November
The Emperor’s Feast – Puppetry for Children by Karromato, The Calgari Experience by Compass Presents and last but not least, Il-Belt Rebbieħa – Oratorio by Joseph Vella.
This time, the programme has been curated by a joint artistic team consisting of Michelle Castelletti and Kenneth Zammit Tabona, who brings an element of baroque opera to the festival.
“We now can return to our glorious palaces – from the exquisiteness that is the Gran Salon, Auberge de Provence (Museum of Archaeology) to the magnificence and splendour of St John’s Co-Cathedral” Artistic Director Michelle Castelleti said.
“This year, the festival will include three genres: chamber music, baroque opera, as well as the works of Joseph Vella – creating a dynamic programme to appeal to a wider audience.” Festivals Malta CEO Annabelle Stivala continued.
The Three Palaces Early Opera & Music Festival is organised by Festivals Malta.
