Joseph Vella Rewwixta 

The MPO performs the oratorio in four movements composed in 1992 by one of Malta’s eminent composers. 

The oeuvre describes a planned plot, eventually uncovered, against the French rule in Malta. Representing an interpretation of the birth of a nationalistic spirit, the  work exploits dramatic features and poetic elements with the lyrics by the late Oliver Friggieri set to music by Joseph Vella.
