As Aida approaches, opera audiences in Gozo needed not wait the cast list to be announced to quickly fill up the islands’ largest opera venue. Gozo’s 1600-seat Aurora had announced, a few weeks ago, that it is marking the return of opera after COVID-19 pandemic with a unique production signed by none other than the legendary Franco Zeffirelli
As if 5 superstar acts weren't enough, Leone Goes Pop's delighted to present a warm-up act by XARULÚ! Yes! That’s how far this production is going to create the most rapturous atmosphere for its public, which we now know is close to rounding up a thousand heads.
On the eve of last Valentine’s Day, Malta and Gozo woke up with a new household name: Ryan Hili, winner of the 3rd edition of X-Factor Malta. We had seen him before.

She was X Factor Malta’s youngest contestant but earned some of the biggest standing ovations throughout the maiden televised TV that saw her grow into a household name. Judges were solidly in praise for her appearances and fans backed her so much she went to clinch the second spot in Malta’s most expensive, most contested, most celebrated TV
Previous editions of Leone Goes Pop have always been open air. This one’s going indoors. Previous editions in the pre-pandemic years seem ages ago. Now everyone speaks of a new-normal, or back to normal. But who want’s normal when LGP promises to be this special???
The young singers at the Aurora Youth Choir were very eager and delighted to present a very special production for Mothers and their babies with Your Mother and Mine.
It was 100% in-house and un-promoted to the wider audience but a special recital nonetheless. Friday 22nd April 2022 was an important date in the academic calendar of our youngsters at the Aurora Opera House and our parent organisation, the Leone Philharmonic Society.
