The last Saturday before Christmas is fast becoming an annual appointment with the Aurora Theatre in Gozo for the Leone Grand Christmas Show, this year falling on the 18th of December. Running into its third consecutive year, the organisers said that this years production is aiming to further increase audiences with another glamorous spectacle.
The Leone Grand Christmas Show is a musical variety show, in which the Leone Band, conducted by Colin Attard, assumes the role of a festival wind orchestra accompanying the whole show throughout. It is joined by a large scale children’s and youths’ choir, dancers from various studios, singers and stand-up comedians. In fact, last year’s experimental satirical comic relieves are expected to add colour and life once again to the show.
This year’s theme revolves around the Christmas colours, which go beyond the traditional red and green. Every colour comes with its own festive thrill. But more than this, the event aims to tint, with a touch of jolly colour, the Christmas of the beneficiaries – the Malta Community Chest Fund.
Supported by the Victoria Local Council, all proceeds from the entrance will be donated to The Malta Community Chest Fund – the charity trust of H.E. the President of Malta, under whose patronage, this show is being produced.
The Leone Grand Christmas Show is an event for all the family, on the last Saturday before Christmas. It is also an occasion for the Leone Philharmonic Society to host its guests and friends and exchange its Christmas greetings, while sending out a stronger message that voluntary action in the cultural sphere, can also lead to noble philanthropic causes. This is the second philanthropic activity by the Leone Band this year, as the repeat performance of Leone Goes Pop (3rd edition) in Marsalforn garnered €1500 in aid of Puttinu Cares foundation. This is a not-to-be-missed event for all Christmas lovers.
Tickets, priced at €5.00 can be booked and bought from the Aurora box office (+356 21559452) or upon entrance. Tickets at the door are on first-come-first-served basis. Further information can be obtained from www.leone.org.mt, info@leone.org.mt or +356 21562974.
The Leone Grand Christmas Show at the Aurora Theatre will be held on the last Saturday before Christmas, the 18th of December 2010 at 8pm. Doors will open at 7.15pm.
