Project Summary:
The aim of this project was 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. Through this project, an improved, high-quality experience is now being offered to the patrons of the Manoel Theatre following the implementation and installation of a new ventilation and acclimatization system. This has replaced the ventilation system installed in 1811, which was 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 were revamped. Through this investment, the theatre can also now benefit from improved acoustics which are critical for Malta’s only opera venue.
