A four-strong television crew from Italian channel Canale 5 is in Gozo to film excerpts from the opera Norma which will be performed at the Astra Theatre today.
The crew will also be filming in several locations around the island to produce a feature in what is Mediaset’s only opera and music review TV programme, Loggione, aired on Saturdays at 8.50 a.m. The programme, now in its eighth edition, features selected opera productions and concerts, mainly those in Italy, together with interviews with the main artistes and music or stage directors.
The TV crew was brought to Malta by Astra in collaboration with the Malta Tourism Authority.
