Dear Friends of the Czech Republic

Dear friends of the Czech Republic,

Following the signing of a Cultural and Co-operation Agreement between the Prague National Theatre and Teatru Manoel, a ""Malta Musical Evening"" will be held in Prague, Czech Republic on the 11th November 2007.

ProMuzika one of Malta’s leading chamber ensembles will be playing the original composes of 20th Century Maltese composers. Also featuring in the programme is the Maltese soprano Lydia Caruana. The Malta event is being organised by Theatre Manoel Management Committee and supported by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture, Malta Tourism Authority, Malta International Airport plc and the Honorary Consulate of Malta in Prague and the Honorary Consulate of the Czech Republic in Malta. This event is an exchange for the two Ballet performances held in Malta in 2006 by the Corps des Ballet of the Prague National Theatre at the Teatru Manoel.
