Many breathed a sigh of relief at the close of 2020, a year synonymous with a global pandemic that has devastated people and industries the world over. Malta’s artistic and cultural community – like those in other countries – also felt its catastrophic effects, as the arts sector all but halted in its wake.
The historic national theatre’s packed January calendar offers an artistic and cultural kick-start to 2021.
Teatru Manoel has announced a new programme of events set to take place at the historic Valletta venue throughout January 2021.
From family-friendly events under the popular Toi Toi Programme to the highly anticipated Valletta Baroque Festival, the January calendar at the national theatre promises a strong start to the new year for Malta’s cultural and artistic community.
“Teatru Manoel is thrilled to announce the launch of a diverse and exhilarating programme this January,” says Teatru Manoel CEO, Massimo Zammit. “It has undoubtedly been a challenging year for everyone and therefore we would like to provide our audience some relief from their stresses through artistic creativity and innovation.”
