Looking forward for a great Turandot tonight....
Am a regular customer of Mediterranea events - i do suggest Dr Trump's visits to all - best value for money in the culture offer on the islands

I would like to congratulate the Teatru Astra organizers of the autumn Festival Mediterranea for the contribution that they are giving to Maltese culture in Gozo. I have attended several outstanding evenings of the early summer Victoria International Arts festival that is organized at St George's basilica. Tonight my wife and I shall be in Gozo for the opening night of Turandot. We always look forward to Astra Theatre's music productions.
