What you can expect

  • Valletta Resounds elegantly strings together the Caravaggio masterpiece, The Beheading of St John the Baptist with theatrical storytelling and timeless classical music. Critically acclaimed Maltese musicians under the musical direction of Jacob Portelli are at the helm of the site-specific performance, bringing to life the works of Baroque Masters such as Handel and Bach along with the sound of sacred Maltese music by composer Francesco Azzopardi and more.

    Sung to perfection by some of Malta’s most esteemed sopranos, Dorothy Bezzina, Hannah Tong and Dorothy Baldacchino, the music is beautifully brought to life on Baroque Harp, Baroque Violin, Baroque Cello and on the Psaltery. This auditory delight is woven harmoniously with tales of the Oratory narrated by the ever-charming and regal character of Fra Bartolomeo performed by Jeremy Grech. The 45-minute narrated concert starts at 18:30 with access to the Cathedral at 18:00 for a 30-minute visit which can be accessed from main door in St John Street. Timings may vary on different days.

    Patrons may also opt to go on an exclusive guided tour right before the performance! This VIP Package offers the rare chance to explore Malta’s most visited historic church without the hustle and bustle of crowds. Discover the Cathedral's unique qualities to those who choose a visiting experience far from the daytime rhythms. The tour will be conducted in English by a professional Tourist Guide.
