ANTOINE FARRUGIA

My colleagues call it Notte Bianca, others call it White Night or even Lejl Imdawwal...Nuit Blanche for the French or La Noche en Blanco for our Hispanic friends.... I love to call it Your Night. Your night, because while we create, we focus on you; our dearest audiences. Your expectations, your enjoyment. An accessible event in all forms. A celebration of versatile performing arts. An important showcase for our most talented local artists and an opportunity to enjoy various international productions.

 

It’s that time of the year again! It’s that time when Festivals Malta proudly announce the return of Notte Bianca with a spectacular programme of over 60 events in various artistic expressions.  

I am grateful to you, our loyal audience, who never fail to surprise us with your fantastic participation. I invite you to come to Valletta on the 5th of October to bask in the splendor of the arts – from classical performances to beloved pop hits, from family friendly productions to more raunchy shows for adults only. Dance, installations, street theatre, flash mobs and more. I invite you to plan your night ahead, interact and let us entertain you! You name it, Notte Bianca has it!  

ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

FRANS AGIUS

Notte Bianca is a unique event in the Festivals Malta cultural portfolio as it includes more than 50 events, all in one night. It is a celebration of the arts, offering different artforms that are presented through unique productions, including visual arts, theatre, dance, music and much more. It is truly a feast for lovers of the arts, but not just. This event attracts people from all walks of life, from events targeted towards young children to help them discover their inner artist, to more vibrant productions for youths, as well as more thought provoking pieces, that appeal to a more mature audience. Notte Bianca is not just for the locals, it also appeals to foreigners who even visit our island specifically for this event to see Valletta in a new light while also experiencing unique state venues which are not normally open to the public. There is truly something for everyone during Notte Bianca.

All in all, Notte Bianca is, and has always been, an event where different people can come together to celebrate our rich culture and diverse local talent, all whilst our capital city transforms into a canvas of colours for one special night. An experience not to be missed.
