This summer I had the pleasure to be part of the chorus in two Maltese operas; Aħna Refugjati and Belt il-Bniedem: Is-Swar.
Aħna Refugjati happened on the 31st August and 2nd September at the Granaries in Floriana. This opera was under the direction of Mario Philip Azzopardi, who was also the librettist. Music was composed by Mario Sammut and Mro. Richard Merrill Brown.
Belt il-Bniedem: Is-Swar took place at the Mediterranean Conference Centre on the 14th of November. Ġorġ Peresso wrote the libretto while the music was written by Dr. Reuben Pace. Michael Moxham directed it and Mro. Robert Ferrer conducted the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra.
