The Three Palaces Early Opera & Music Festival 2022

Organised by Festivals Malta, audiences experience intimate concert performances in the grandeur of some of Malta’s finest palaces and indulge in forms of artistic expression that reflect the identity of the nation and beyond. Emerging artists perform alongside the finest established artists in Malta and internationally.

The Three Palaces Festival Early Opera & Music Festival is a 10-day festival that takes place during the first 2 weeks of November. Organised by Festivals Malta, the festival focuses on the premise that “our ordinary is actually extraordinary”, which is coming from the fact that in Malta we are surrounded by magnificent buildings that we pass by every day and barely notice their beauty. It gives life to the philosophy that everyone should have access to heritage sites, to the transcendent beauty of art, as well as the right to participate in the expression of music. Audiences experience intimate performances in the grandeur of some of Malta’s finest palaces and indulge in forms of artistic expression that reflect the identity of the nation and beyond. Education in the arts is a cornerstone of The Three Palaces Festival Early Opera & Music Festival, and broad access is given through school participation, arts tourism and musician gatherings that see emerging artists perform alongside the finest established artists in Malta and internationally.
