The Manoel Theatre is Europe's third-oldest working theatre and the oldest in the Commonwealth, built in 1731 by commission of Grand Master António Manoel de Vilhena. This intimate Baroque theatre features just 623 seats, a magnificent gilded oval interior, and exceptional acoustics that make it a perfect venue for opera and classical concerts. Malta's national theatre continues to host performances year-round.
