Gaulitana: A Festival of Music promises to be another month-long cultural journey establishing Gaulitana’s position as a “major classical music festival” (Musical Opinion UK).

Highlighting some of the festival’s key events during the launch, artistic director Colin Attard spoke about the OPERA+ Weekend, the three-day cultural bonanza present around “Gozo’s April opera”. This year, Bellini’s Norma shall resonate more with local opera buffs as, apart from a stellar cast, the sets take inspiration from the Ġgantija Temples.

Developing on this link, Gaulitana will also present a number of events at Ġgantija Temples, in collaboration with Heritage Malta. Besides, other events include evening recitals, talks, lunchtime concerts at Ċittadella and MusicAlive, a new series aimed at presenting live music to a wider audience.

Attard delved also into the GAULearn educational programme, which will also include an adaptation of Norma for schools. The festival will also commemorate Leonard Bernstein’s birth centenary whilst exploring collaborations with various art forms – including installation art, literature, dance and photography.

Gaulitana is supported by the Gozo Cultural Support Programme of Arts Council Malta and the Ministry for Gozo, by Valletta 2018 and by Heritage Malta.
