Gozo’s Gaulitana hits the right note

A MONTH long celebration of culture has come to Gozo this April, offering a diverse programme of events which showcases both local and international artists with a range of musical styles.

The Gaulitana: A Festival of Music 2023, the 16th edition of the annual springtime event hosted by Gaulitana Choir, offers a roster full of musical theatre opera, instrumental, vocal and classical events to locals and tourists alike. Each of the events aim to transform Gozo into an island of creativity with the locals at its heart.

Alongside the performances, the festival also includes educational events and a folk music exhibition, as well as live painting, art and literature.

The festival’s pivotal moment will take place on April 29, for the full-scale production of Verdi’s La Traviata, held as part of the OPERA+ Weekend and under the distinguished patronage of H.E. President of Malta.

Tickets to the event are free, however booking is required for the La Traviata spectacle.

The major classical music festival will run until May 1, 2023. www.visitmalta.com
