The Gaulitana Education Programme gets underway on Monday and features workshops, masterclasses and tailored events for students in Gozo and Malta.

A unique event, the first of its kind on the islands will be #opera4me. Gaulitana said that this is an initiative aimed at rendering opera more accessible to students.. The featured opera will be Il Barbiere di Siviglia, the festival's programmed opera, and will be with one of Malta's leading music educators, Sarah Spiteri, together with an Italian operatic company purposely brought for this event. This will be complemented by theatre tours and a 5-day career exposure with the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra.

Illustrated presentation to broaden musical awareness and appreciation will feature Noel Gallo (organ), Mina Ghobrial (flute), Galdos String Quartet, and Kevin Moindaze – Luis A. Saldivia-Vega (guitars).

Master-classes will be held with international Maltese soprano Miriam Gauci (voice) and with Alexander Frey (piano), who was described by Leonard Bernstein as a "wonderful spirit."

The Educational Programme is held in collaboration with the Gozo College within the Ministry for Education and Employment under the education+ scheme.

It is being supported by Teatru Manoel and the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra.
