Get your EARLY BIRD ticket, for €20 instead of €25 until the 30th of June! Il-Ħanina Maddalena is tipped to be the most epic spectacle this summer. The music by esteemed maestro Dominic Galea, penned by Simon Bartolo with Lyrics by Loranne Vella with audience favourites Chiara, Amber, and Leontine in the lead roles. Directed by Josette Ciappara and from the same producers of Balzunetta Towers, this is expected to be this summer’s best seller. 

The musical sees the return of Malta’s most beloved angel. This time she is wearing a habit. In fact Chiara will be playing one of the lead roles, that of Il-Madre. She is joined by our much loved pop star Amber who promises to be in her best form as the hair-raising Serafina; an occultist turned nun. Caterina Vitale, a mean mother who wants her ways, will have the distinctive high-sounding voice of Leontine whilst the multi-talented Dorothy Bezzina will lend her voice to Teresa Morales, a heart-warming prostitute who wants the best for her daughter.

Many other theatre heavyweights and talented new-comers will be joining the grandest monastery this summer. The likes of Samaria Bezzina, Ishmael Grech, Jesmond Tedesco Triccas, Dominic Cini , Alexander G Lewis, Rachel Tedesco Triccas, Karl Cassar, Rachel Vella, Christine Francalanza , Gilbert Formosa, Marceline Galea and the young Haley Azzopardi complete the stellar cast along with an ensemble made up of some of the best actors and actresses on the island such as André Mangion, Alison Abela and Jamie Cardona amongst many others.

Il-Ħanina Maddalena is part of the Malta International Arts Festival, commissioned by Valletta 2018 - European Capital of Culture and Festivals Malta and is supported by PBS, the Malta Film Commission and the Kunsill Lokali tal-Belt Valletta.

The venue is wheelchair accessible.
