This Christmas, Masquerade Theatre Company is back at Teatru Manoel with one of Malta’s most beloved festive traditions: the annual Christmas pantomime! Ali Baba bursts onto the stage with toe-tapping music, laugh-out-loud comedy, dazzling costumes, and yes — even a tap-dancing camel. Follow the brave Ali Baba as he takes on the Forty Thieves in a magical, mischievous adventure perfect for children, young and old.
Directed by Anthony Bezzina and brought to life by a powerhouse creative team — writer Malcolm Galea, musical director Kris Spiteri, choreographer Valerie Burke, and set designer Matthew Cassar — this year’s panto promises all the sparkle and silliness you expect from the Manoel Christmas tradition.
The star-studded cast includes Malcolm Galea, Joseph Zammit, Katherine Brown, Gianluca Mifsud, Martina Cuschieri, Chrissy Despott, Max Dingli, Hannah Gatt, and David Ellul. Expect big laughs, big characters, and big festive fun — this is one panto you won’t want to miss!
