The Seminary School Christmas Concert held on Monday at Oratory Don Bosco was a spectacular show. About 330 students took part in the show including actors, the choir, as well as an orchestra.

The show was mixed with a variety of items where it opened with the choir and the orchestra playing “Joy to the world.” After an opening from the comperes Mr. Joe Louis Xiberras and Ms Isabelle Vella.

The show opened with the musical of Oliver Twist written by Charles Dickens. This was performed by the form 1 and 2 students directed by Ms Josephine Azzopardi and accompanied by the choir directed by Ms Natalie Attard and Mr Ivan Farrugia.

This proved to be a perfect opening with dancing and singing from all the performers, getting the large audience into the swing of things for the rest of the show!This was followed by a small scetch “l-isbah Milied” from form 2 students which dealt with a common social issue – immigration, this was directed by Ms Irene Meilak.

The first part of the show ended with an umoristic play with the name “Minn got-tagen ghal gon-nar,” performed by form 3 students about 2 prisoners who wanted to spend a different Christmas. This play translated by Trevor Zahra was directed by Mr Mark Laurence Zammit.

The second part opened with another musical named “The Beautiful Game” performed by form 4 students directed by Ms Vicky Xuereb. This musical, written by Andrew Lloyd Weber, is about a group of lads playing soccer and worried about the bad times during the war between Catholics and Protestants in the 1970’s.

The last item for the night was a comedy performed by form 5 students and directed by Mr Edmond Grech and Alex Farrugia.

The comedy was called Hotel Ghogma comedy about the CHOGM delegates.

This was a great ending to the Christmas Concert, which was of a very high standard and enjoyed immensely by everyone there.
