Right off the bat of the exceptional success of Chicago, Arthaus is back with a second major production this year, although the production house will not be steering towards another musical.

It returns instead with a magnified version of ROCKWIRED!

A celebration of rock music is coming to the Mediterranean Conference Centre this November with a 6-piece band, 34-piece orchestra and a 60-person choir! Hailing rock classics from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, noughties, and present day, ROCKWIRED will bring orchestral versions of hits by Bon Jovi, Coldplay, Aerosmith, Scorpions, Evanescence, Linkin Park, Muse, Metallica, The Beatles, Green Day, Queen, and so much more.

Arthaus in collaboration with The Palace String Orchestra and supported by the Rock’n Malta Fund will be performing this fantastic all live music fest on the 4th and 5th November, under the artistic direction of Stefania Grech Vella and the musical direction of Ryan Paul Abela who is also responsible for the orchestral arrangements.

Choir arrangements have been set by Paul Abela, whilst the choir itself is being led by Claire McCartin. Hosted by award-winning actor Stephen Oliver, the concert will also feature some of Malta’s top rock talent such as Chris Grech, Klinsmann, Neville Refalo, Andre Portelli, Dion Farrell, Dorothy Borg Bonnici, Rachel Grech and Stephanie Chetcuti, Natassja Chapman, and Jodi Zerafa Heckenlaible amongst many other incredibly talented singers.

The production also has a few surprises in store for its audience…

Arthaus President, Samantha Corrieri Dela expressed her excitement for the upcoming production,

“We are thrilled to bring the Maltese public the second edition of ROCKWIRED! Arthaus’ history is dotted with rock musicals and what were known as rock operas - so the genre is very much in our blood. There is a thirst for rock concerts on the island and hopefully this production can quench it. Our talented community of artists are working hard to bring you a feast for the eyes and ears!”.

ROCKWIRED plays at the Mediterranean Conference Centre, Malta on 4th and 5th November 2023, with all performances at 7.30pm. Tickets are available at prices between €20 and €35 through tickets.arthaus.mt. This production is suitable for audiences aged 12 and above. For more information on Arthaus, visit www.arthaus.mt.
