Ever wondered what it’s like to watch the sun set over the Mediterranean, while enjoying a symphony of classical music? This week in Malta, you can make that a reality. But that’s not all. From art exhibitions to historical tours, let’s dive into what’s on in our sunny islands this week.

Kicking off our week is the Sunset Classical Concert at the MDINA bastions on Tuesday, May 21. Imagine this: the golden hues of the setting sun, the ancient walls of the Silent City as your backdrop, and the enchanting melodies of Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin filling the air. It’s an experience that’s not to be missed. Gates open at 6:30 PM, and the concert starts at 7:30 PM. Tickets are €15 and can be bought online.

If you’re an art enthusiast, head down to St. James Cavalier in Valletta for the opening of a new exhibition on Thursday, May 23. Local artist, Joseph Agius, will be showcasing his latest collection, titled “Reflections of the Sea.” Agius is known for his vibrant, abstract interpretations of the Maltese coastline. The exhibition runs until June 23, but the opening night promises to be something special, with the artist in attendance and complimentary drinks. The event starts at 7 PM.

Over in Gozo, the Citadel Open Day is happening on Saturday, May 25. The historic citadel in Victoria will open its doors to the public, offering guided tours, historical reenactments, and traditional Gozitan food and music. It’s a fantastic opportunity to explore the island’s rich history and culture. The event runs from 9 AM to 7 PM, and entrance is free.
