FESTIVAL MEDITERRANEA 28/10/2017 – 08/11/2017

Festival Mediterranea, (now in its seventeenth edition) is an annual celebration of culture with Gozo as a beautiful island backdrop in warm Autumn. Mythology has it that the charm of this island aided the most beautiful nymph Calypso to halt Ulysses on his journeys and lure him away from his travels for seven mystical years. Today, Gozo’s charm seeks to lure its visitors into a kaleidoscope of cultural events, highlighted by the celebrations of the arts in such festivals as the Mediterranea. Organised by Teatru Astra, the Festival Mediterranea’s highlight is the spectacular presentation of Gaetano Donizetti’s opera, Lucia di Lammermoor, with a double representation on the 26th and 28th October 2017. Gozo’s Teatru Astra enjoys a well-established tradition of excellence, with the engagement of an internationally renowned cast, a fantastic opera chorus, imposing sets and scenery, outstanding costumes and spectacular lights.
