The Manoel Theatre’s top-selling show is back for its 13th edition.

As one of the only shows in Malta to have kept its annual appointment with audiences for more than a decade, Teatru Unplugged must be doing something right.

With its trademark selection of rock, pop and alternative performances Teatru Unplugged has built a reputation as the best place to catch a blend of established and upcoming acts in one hard-to-beat line-up. This year is no different, and audiences can look forward to six unique performances in one jam-packed evening.

This year’s edition features upcoming singer Megan Balzan (this year’s “young talent act”) accompanied by Rosetta De Battista; popular band Chasing Pandora; the Renzo Spiteri Terra Project featuring vocalist Peter Grech; award-winning local band Beige; Glee-inspired choir The Blast; and London-based band Fraser. Additionally, it will be presented by the highly entertaining Pawlu Borg Bonaci, frontman of local band Fakawi.

Speaking about the event, renowned percussionist Mr Spiteri said: “I’ve watched Teatru Unplugged grow from its first edition 13 years ago to an annual event with a very strong following that entices new audiences into the Manoel Theatre. There is something about Unplugged that makes me want to be part of it every year, and I will be launching an exciting new project at this year’s edition.”

New to the event, The Blast director Denise Mulholland said: “Rosetta De Battista and I were inspired to create The Blast having watched Glee for the millionth time. Although there is a lot going on in the local theatre scene, there wasn’t a vocal group aimed exclusively at 14- to 18-year-olds, so we held auditions and selected 27 fantastic young singers.

“Teatru Unplugged has always provided a platform for local artists and musicians in Malta, and we’re thrilled to be making our debut as part of this year’s edition. It promises to be very exciting.”

• Teatru Unplugged is being held today, tomorrow and on Sunday. Tickets may be obtained by phone on 2124 6389 or online: www.teatrumanoel.com.mt.
