Maltese Operas

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.

Spring to Summer

It’s been some time since I’ve posted here … have been kept quite busy this year! Soon after Don Giovanni, I sang with the A Cappella Choir in La Divina Commedia, where we sang two a cappella pieces; Eric Whitacre’s Lux Arumque and Ola Gjeilo’s O Magnum Mysterium. This was part of a concert directed by Michelle Castelletti and held at the Robert Samut Hall in Floriana.

In April I then joined the pit-singers for Mamma Mia!, an FM Theatre production. We were under the music direction of Kris Spiteri with the musical being held at the MCC in Valletta.
