A reminder that Gaulitana: A Festival of Music has a student scheme available for the opera Tosca, being held at the Teatru tal-Opra Aurora on the 12th of April, 2014.

The scheme gives students from any educational institution the opportunity to purchase a limited number of opera tickets at a reduced fee of €10.

This scheme forms part of the outreach imprint that Gaulitana said it wants “to enhance, therefore promoting culture to youths.”

Through Tosca, the organisers aim to expose further theatrical experiences to those in their academic formative years. “Definitely, an opera is an ideal showcase of various co-existent disciplines – from the vocational arts of set-construction and light techniques to the performing arts of singing, playing and stage direction.”

Tosca, the highlight of this year’s edition of Gaulitana is a collaboration between the local festival and Taormina Festival. Italian director Enrico Castiglione will direct a cast led by Norma Fantini, Piero Giuliacci and Francesco Landolfi. The Malta Philharmonic Orchestra will be under the baton of Colin Attard whilst the chorus will be the Gaulitanus Choir. The set and the costumes are designed by Castiglione and Sonia Cammarata respectively.

Students can obtain their tickets by phoning 99209779/99248963. They are requested to present their Student Cards at the door.

A transport service from the Theatre to the ferry terminal in Mgarr is also being offered after the show. This must be pre-booked for a nominal fee of €1.
