Teatru Astra, as organiser of Festival Mediterranea, would like to inform the general public that this evening’s concert, produced by Opera Studio Teatru Astra (OSTA), has been cancelled due to last-minute unforeseen circumstances on which Teatru Astra has absolutely no control.

Events held during the rest of the weekend, including the sold-out dance spectacle, will however be held as planned.

Participants of tomorrow’s organised visit to the vineyards of a family-run boutique winery in Gharb are asked to meet the organisers at Gharb Square at 1.45pm from where they will proceed to the Hili family fields, where a hands-on experience at cultivating vines will also be offered. The event includes the sampling of wines and a selection of home-made delicacies. Tickets for this event should be booked on 21550985 or 99883007.

Another event this weekend is tomorrow evening’s dance spectacle by Centre Stage Dance Academy at Teatru Astra with the participation of more than 200 dancers. The event has long been fully-booked with the organisers currently considering a repeat performance. Truly Unforgettable is a celebration of timeless popular songs in an array of dance numbers featuring jazz, ballet, hip hop, and the contemporary genre through songs by artistes including Domenico Modugno, Tina Turner and Joe Cocker, as well as Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Kylie Minogue and Cheryl Cole. The production is under the artistic direction and choreography of young dance teacher Natalie Sciortino.

Festival Mediterranea continues next weekend and the following with the annual grand band concert by La Stella Philharmonic Band on Saturday 20 November and a folk spectacular, part of an international folk festival, organised by Astra Folk Group, on Saturday 27 November. Both events will be held at Teatru Astra and entrance is free of charge.
