Culture Venture is providing advisory services for the establishment of Malta Opera and the implementation of its first programme under the artistic direction of Nicola Said with the participation of Maltese opera singers, and Malta-based professional direction and production. Malta Opera will fill a void in the cultural market for international class Maltese performance, collaborating across the sector through multidisciplinary projects. This project will lead Malta Opera to address three main projects in its first two years: Bel Canto Staged Opera Scenes, a Masterclass Series, and a Devised Operetta. It will also deliver in performance, education and community and will seek to contribute to cultural tourism.
