Why no plans for bombed-out site?

What is the mystery that shrouds the rebuilding of our national Opera House? The present bombed eyesore has insulted the Maltese intelligence far too long! All other countries who suffered heavy losses during the last war have had their cities completely rebuilt, and most of them faithfully reconstructed.

Common sense and logic dictates that the outside shell should be the original outstanding and imposing architecture, while inside should be a state-of-the-art and modern development.

Finance should definitely not be an excuse! I have already stated on various occasions that both Britain and Germany would and should look kindly on assisting in this project.
