The
building is a stage for opera and theatre for the people of Malta.
Resting atop the stony remains of the Royal Opera House ruins, it is
like a sculpture on a plinth. And like a giant gramophone, it amplifies
the orchestral sound onto adjacent streets and into Freedom square,
which becomes the auditorium. The building is equipped with its
own airship. Rising into heights that can be seen from far beyond the
city walls, it is a symbol of celebration and like a silent church bell
draws in the crowds.
