Holidaying on Gozo during July? Here’s something for your to-do list. For 10 years, the Gozo Youth Orchestra has been holding its annual Opera vs Pop Under the Stars celebration. For the 10th birthday celebrations on 31 July, the show is set to be the biggest yet.
The programme will include classical and operatic melodies and arias, followed by a lighter selection from soundtracks and musicals, all beneath the stars in the grand setting of the courtyard of the Ministry for Gozo, St Francis Square in Victoria,
