A sizeable crowd gathered in St George’s Square, Valletta this afternoon for a short recital by tenor Joseph Calleja that was filmed by Sky Television as part of a documentary on the Maltese tenor. 

Mr Calleja's voice filled the square as he performed a short recital that included O Sole Mio and Granada to the delight of the audience, mostly passers-by. 

Not to be outdone, at the end of the performance the crowd sang happy birthday to the tenor, who turns 37 tomorrow, and he was presented with a cake from Caffe Cordina which is next to the square.
