The Ave Marias
Soprano Marita Bezzina takes the stage to perform an extraordinary and enchanting repertoire called The Ave Marias on Tuesday 29th October 2024 at 12:30pm at Our Lady of Victory Church, Valletta. She will be accompanied by pianist Ramona Zammit Formosa who will also perform musical interludes on the piano.
Marita Bezzina will sing a fine, beautiful array of Marian-themed arias, all composed in honour of Our Lady. The selection of arias varies from opera excerpts to Maltese compositions. Most of the composers are renowned international giants of the classical music world, such as Verdi, who wrote his Ave Maria in his opera “Othello”.
One of the most well-known Ave Maria compositions was composed by Schubert, which is followed by other celebrated Ave Marias, such as those composed by Arcadelt, Caccini, Gounod and the melodious aria by the Maltese composer and musician Mro. Silvio Zammit.
Tickets, costing 10 euro, can be obtained from the venue itself half an hour before the concert begins. For more details phone 7968 0952 or email: baroccomalta@gmail.com.
