The Opera House 1946572 viewsJohn Clark
The old opera house site will be converted into an open-air theatre that will incorporate the bombed ruins according to plans by Italian architect Renzo Piano to be unveiled this week. (22 June 2009)
The plans envisage a 1,200-seat roofless theatre, built around the ruins and other remains stored elsewhere over the years. It will all be enhanced with state-of-the-art technology that will give the place the scenographic and acoustic properties expected from a contemporary theatre. See Times of Malta Video Prefect

Barracca Lift Entrance571 viewsOpened to the public on 17th December 1903 at a cost of £5,000, the Barracca Lift connected Lascaris Wharf (Customs House) with Upper Barracca Gardens offering both a shorter and quicker route. This view show the entrance to the lower courtyard, the directions sign to Valletta City still today positioned to the left with the lifts departing from inside on the right . No doubt the lift is now sorely missed by the hordes of tourists arriving on cruise ships – try walking it, or more sensible, don’t!
