Our Story
The Teatru tal-Opra Aurora, built in 1971-1976 according to plans, designs and decorations of the renowned Maltese artist Chev. Emvin Cremona, can host up to 1600 people. With a spacious and gracefully raked auditorium, it ensures a clear unobstructed line of vision and comfort during the shows.
This largest opera house on the islands hosts its esteemed audiences in the stalls, a level of hall boxes accessed from within the auditorium, two other boxed tiers and an upper gallery. Its u-shape design, slope, architectural features, and deliberate choice of furnishing fabrics and materials including the soffit, endow the Teatru tal-Opra Aurora with perfect acoustics making it an ideal venue for operas and any other musical form of entertainment.
