Valletta has transformed into a vibrant and atmospheric city with Christmas projections and a Nativity scene in St George’s Square, pop-up music events in Great Siege Square, film screenings and puppet shows at Is-Suq tal-Belt and Freedom Square and other attractions along the city’s main streets.
The Valletta Cultural Agency’s Christmas in the City programme is taking place between December 8 and 24 while a televised live show is planned for New Year’s Eve. Although the Covid 19 Pandemic has changed the way the Valletta Cultural Agency is organising Christmas events in Valletta this year, this did not take away from the festive element and the intimacy of small-scale events taking place every evening.
A concert featuring some of the greatest, world famous operatic tunes and arias from Donizetti to Verdi and Puccini is being held in Pjazza Regina, Valletta, today at 8pm.
Opera in the City will see performances by international Maltese tenor Nico Darmanin and soprano Nadia Vella, who will be accompanied by Sofia Narmania on the piano.
Due to COVID-19 mitigation measures, one is requested to send an e-mail to info@vca.gov.mt to book a place. Tickets are free of charge.
This event is part of the Valletta Cultural Agency’s ‘Christmas in the City’ programme, running until December 24 in the main squares, strategic locations and the quaint streets of Valletta. Christmas lights and decorations can continue to be enjoyed throughout January.
