Teatru Manoel
The basics
Over the centuries, the theater has expanded and taken over other buildings. The neighboring Casa Bonici has been incorporated into the complex, adding a white marble staircase to the theater foyer and providing a pretty courtyard bar. The theater plays a major part in the Maltese arts scene. The repertoire includes opera, ballet, classical concerts, and jazz and rock concerts as well as the occasional Maltese folk concert. Visitors can come attend concerts or take a self-guided tour of the theater (outside of show times), free for Malta Pass holders.
