Gaulitana: A Festival of Music is an annual springtime international festival, now established as a major artistic endeavour in Malta. Organized by the Gaulitanus Choir, the festival’s raison d’etre is to create a platform seeking to enrich Gozo’s cultural output in the leaner months of the year.
The month-long cultural bonanza presents a multifarious programme of events held in localities around Gozo including
- OPERA+ Weekend, three days of quality events intrinsically linked with an operatic production
- international and local artists starring in an eclectic mix of musical styles
- a multi-dimensionality extending to non-musical disciplines
- a celebration of the late Stephen Attard
- GAULearn, the festival’s educational programme
Gaulitana: A Festival of Music is principally supported by the Investment in Cultural Organisations – Gozo of Arts Council Malta and the Ministry for Gozo & Planning partnered by Bank of Valletta, VisitMalta and APS Bank.
Dates: 05 April – 04 May
Events:
- evening and lunchtime concerts
- vocal and instrumental recitals
- talks & exhibition
- Nabucco, full-scale operatic production of Verdi’s ever popular oeuvre
