The Upgrading of the Manoel Theatre

The aim of this project is to continue in the preservation and upgrading of the oldest working national theatre in the World and a Grade 1, listed, and scheduled building: the Manoel Theatre. This project will provide an improved, high-quality experience to the patrons of the Manoel Theatre through the implementation and installation of a new ventilation and acclimatization system, which replaces the ventilation system installed in 1811, and which is not adequate to create a comfortable ambiance in terms of air temperature control, humidity levels and air purification. In addition to the climate control system, the roof, seating and floor of the same theatre will be revamped. By means of this investment the theatre shall benefit from improved acoustics which are critical for Malta's only opera venue.
