Excursion Valletta baroque festival - the quattro stagioni extravaganza tour at Valletta

Step into the atmospheric world of Malta’s performing arts during this refined evening excursion to the Valletta Baroque Festival, one of the island’s most celebrated annual cultural events. On this special night, guests attend The Quattro Stagioni Extravaganza, performed by internationally acclaimed artists inside the Manoel Theatre, a 1731 architectural jewel known for its intimate acoustics and Baroque charm.

Your evening begins with a short transfer from the pier to the edge of the city. From here, enjoy a guided walk through Valletta’s historic streets. The route includes gentle inclines and cobblestone surfaces, offering glimpses of the capital’s warm limestone facades and elegant urban layout as twilight settles over the city.

Manoel Theatre – Performance of The Quattro Stagioni Extravaganza

Upon arrival at the Manoel Theatre, settle into your reserved seats and prepare for an unforgettable performance. This special festival program brings Vivaldi’s Four Seasons to life through expressive virtuoso playing by the Da Valette Chamber Orchestra, accompanied by renowned musicians Carmine Lauri, Charlie Siem, Anna Kosinska, and Maximilian Hornung.

The evening begins with Vivaldi’s contemplative Sinfonia Al Santo Sepolcro, followed by the energetic Concerto for Two Violins and Cello in D minor, RV 565. The highlight of the night—The Four Seasons—captures the cycle of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter with vivid musical storytelling, from birdsong and summer storms to rustic dances and winter’s icy winds.

After the performance, enjoy a pleasant walk back toward the city entrance before boarding your vehicle for the short transfer to the port.

This tour offers a rare opportunity to experience Baroque music in a perfectly preserved 18th-century theatre, combining Malta’s rich architectural heritage with the timeless beauty of Vivaldi’s most iconic compositions.
