National Treasure: A Closer Look at the Manoel Theatre in Malta
The Manoel Theatre (Teatru Manoel) in Malta is both a historical monument of immense cultural value as well as the most important performing arts venue of the small island nation. It has a rich and long history, dating back to 1731 when it was built on request of Grand Master Fra António Manoel de Vilhena… Hence its name. It is a beautiful place and European theatre afficionados agree – attending a show at the Manoel is a magical experience.
