Teatru Manoel is Malta’s national theatre and one of Europe’s oldest theatres still in operation. Its 547-seat Baroque auditorium hosts opera, theatre, music, dance and independent productions in the centre of Valletta.
A living historic theatre
The building is not presented only as a monument. It produces and receives a regular season, collaborates with Maltese and international artists and includes a smaller studio for contemporary and experimental work.
Music and festivals
Teatru Manoel is a central venue of the Valletta Baroque Festival. Its acoustics, wooden boxes and historic decoration create a distinctive environment for chamber music and opera.
Visits and access
Theatre visits may be available outside performance times. Confirm opening hours, accessible areas and photography conditions through the official website.
