Christmas Holidays in Gozo
For many, a festive week in Gozo is ideal for relaxation. Families tend to capitalize on children’s school holidays and seclude themselves in self-catering establishments, having gatherings and dinners in a home away from home. Depending on the weather, winter walks are another favourite with many. But Christmas in Gozo is also abundant of music and theatre.
The Leone Grand Christmas Show
While being known for its annual opera, the 1600-seat Aurora Theatre, Malta’s largest indoor opera venue, is busily gearing towards its own Christmas variety show. Many theatres around the globe present their in-house Christmas production during the Christmas festival period. The Leone Grand Christmas Show is the spectacle modelled on the most successful entertainment recipes, imported in Malta, and dressed the Maltese festive costume.
The Artistes
The background and context to this colourful evening are set by an 80-piece band, the Leone Band – Gozo’s first. It will be supported and complemented by a strong troupe of singers, dancers and choirs. The line-up, which customarily includes seasonal medleys, the most-loved joyous tunes, humour and spectacle, will be announced in due course. However, the Aurora Theatre has got some of the finest talent on board, promising a feast for the eyes and music to the ears.
Mark your calendars - December 28th
The Leone Grand Christmas Show will be held on the last Saturday of the year – at the heart of the most shimmering weekend of all – right in between Christmas and New Year. So set your calendars, Saturday, December 28th, starting at 8pm.
