A first ever end-of-year Gala evening at the opera house is being presented by the Teatru tal-Opra Aurora in Victoria, Gozo.
The Aurora Gala – will be a symphonic gala by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra, directed by Colin Attard, followed by an 8-course gala dinner in what is being dubbed as the ”ultimate event of the season.”
The Aurora said that ”it’s not quite the Vienna New Year’s Concert. Neither is it Venice’s Concerto di Capodanno at La Fenice. It simply is The Aurora Gala, taking its name from the famed Aurora Opera House, where opera in Gozo has strived and thrived.”
The evening will begin with a symphonic concert featuring an eclectic mix of Maltese and continental symphonic music. Household names on their own right and might and on this special occasion on the eve of New Year’s Eve.
The Aurora explained that the concert will be further complemented by a splendidly lavish dinner. ”While the Blue Lion may be known for serving as a Gastro Bar during the year, the services and expertise of Chef Paul Bugeja and his experience at the Michelin-rated Northcote Obsession eatery in Lancashire, will be brought to the fore for the occasion. ”What promises to be a once-in-a-year treat will feature an 8-course fine dine style dinner inclusive of a selection of fine wines.”
The Aurora Gala will ”feast on the lavish neo-baroque decor of the opera house, signed by Emvin Cremona; it will bank on the eloquence of the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra and the seasoned Colin Attard; it will capitalise on the wholehearted hospitality for which Gozo is known; and it will shimmer at the sight of so many esteemed patrons, dressed up to the nines, that will line up the red carpets and dot the theatre stalls in proper gala dress code;” it said.
With different price brackets and combo options, the end-of-year Gala at the Aurora is an innovative event that aims to attract ”high-quality seasonal tourist to the island who adds quality time, accommodation and ancillary services to his Gozo visit over the turn-of-the-year period.”
Concert and dinner tickets, with optional champagne and waiter service in the theatre boxes may be acquired from www.teatruaurora.com or ticket helpline: 79045779.
The Aurora Gala is being produced by the Teatru tal-Opra Aurora, in collaboration with the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra with the support of the Ministry for Gozo.
