Gozo Christmas musical

The students and staff of the Sacred Heart Minor Seminary of Victoria will present this year’s Christmas spectacle, Fettlilna Nagħmlu Musical, on Thursday, 14 December at 5.30pm at the Astra Theatre.

The annual Christmas theatrical presentation is a very important event in the school calendar.

Throughout its 150-year history, this boys’ secondary school has regarded theatre as a fundamental element in the holistic education of its students.

This year’s edition of the traditional Christmas concert will take a different format: a production based on the collective participation of the entire school population.

Written by Alexander George Farrugia and directed by Fr Joseph Bajada, the story of Fettlilna Nagħmlu Musical takes us to a miserable school staffed by dejected teachers and attended by students with questionable levels of motivation. The arrival of a new staff member, full of energy and enthusiasm, but somewhat naive, breathes new life into this school and is a welcome break from what has been, so far, a stifling working environment.

An action-packed production embellished with upbeat musical compositions, a healthy dose of humour, as well as more sombre didactic elements, Fettlilna Nagħmlu Musical is the ideal event for those wishing to glide into the festive Christmas spirit.

Tickets may be bought from the Sacred Heart Minor Seminary during school hours or via email at arnaud.bouvier@gozoseminary.com
