The Don Bosco Oratory will be staging a new musical in Maltese, entitled Wojtyla – God’s Clarion Call, written by Antoine Mercieca, lyrics by Joe W. Psaila. The musical, produced with the collaboration of Fondazzjoni Santa Ċeċilja, will commemorate the 40th anniversary since Karol Wojtyla became Pope and it will be launching special celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of the Don Bosco Oratory.

Wojtyla – God’s Clarion Call is a two-hour performance of original music, song, projections and dance entwined with a story that would make patrons remember the highlights of John Paul II’s life.

The 70-strong cast, including musicians, singers and dancers, will be under the musical direction of Antoine Mercieca, while Saviour Cremona will be the artistic director.

The Gozo Ministry will be supporting the musical by extending the ‘Reaching for the Stars’ scheme to youths aged between 13 and 35 who will be given a subsidised entrance ticket.
