About Notte Bianca
Organised by Festivals Malta, Notte Bianca is one of Malta’s biggest annual arts and culture festivals. For one special night, every first Saturday of October, the Valletta cityscape lights up with a spectacular celebration of the arts that is open to the public free of charge. Valletta’s streets, piazzas, churches, state palaces and museums are transformed into venues for a myriad of live performances and concerts, while many cafés and restaurants extend their opening hours. The entire city of Valletta comes alive for Notte Bianca, guaranteeing a memorable night that truly holds something for everyone.
Maestrissimo
Duration: 1hr 30mins (per show)
Admission: Free Admission, no booking required
Synopsis: Maestrissimo is an allegro e molto vivace show, which comes halfway between a chamber concert, satirical comedy, and a portrayal of the times. In sheer Yllana style, it illustrates the adventures and misfortunes of a string quartet round about the 17th and 18th centuries (Baroque and Neoclassicism). A supporting-act musician, a nobody, but with immense talent seeks to climb the ladder and achieve the title of maestrissimo. Will his talent and brilliance be enough to make a name for himself in such a hierarchical world?
Notte Bianca is organised by Festivals Malta with the support of the Ministry for Culture, Lands and Local Government and in collaboration with Coca Cola, Vibe FM and European Heritage Days.
