THERE'S the passion of flamenco, a cutting edge visual arts exhibition, Shakespeare's Globe, harrowingly intimate dance theater, bracing brassy music and orchestral concerts and even a circus performance. The 15-day-long Malta Arts Festival that runs until July 14 is more intriguing than ever.
With a varied program of theater, music, dance and visual arts, the festival offers a broad range of genres and artistic forms. Held mainly in open-air venues on Malta's warm summer nights, the event has also opened up little-used and special venues, including the Old Opera House ruins, Argotti Gardens and Ospizio in Floriana, and been an impetus for the islands to set about providing a greater diversity of art and performance spaces.
Returning this year are some well-loved and familiar acts: Shakespeare's Globe is back with "The Taming of the Shrew;" so, too, is the exciting Puerto Flamenco. And so are those demi-gods of string quartet - the Kronos Quartet -- who currently are celebrating their 40th anniversary.
