Opera La Traviata Gallery

20 March 2011

The Opera Productions section of this website has recently been updated to include the gallery of the latest La Traviata, produced at Teatru Astra on 29 and 31 October 2010.  This gallery is effectively an online showcase of the recent operas held at Teatru Astra. The administration of this website will be undertaking further efforts to update images of the earlier opera poductions.

The 2010 La Traviata at Teatru Astra was directed by Marco Gandini.  This production marked the first engagement of this world-renowned artistic director in Malta.  The National Philharmonic Orchestra was under the direction of Prof Joseph Vella. The stage was designed by scenographer Mauro Tinti, built by volunteers Carmel Zammit and Emanuel J. Farrugia and their teams, and decorated by scenic artist Joseph Cauchi and his aides. The costumes have been designed by Luca Canfora Manuel Grima and George Farrugia, Astra Theatre’s wardrobe masters. Stage light setting was entrusted to George Zammit.  Dr Maria Frendo trained the Teatru Astra Opera Chorus.

The photos have been captured by Joe Attard and the opera poster was designed by Andrew Formosa.
