Masquerade Theatre Company recently launched a CD of their original show 1565 – The Musical. This was done during the spectacular concert version of the musical held at the historical Fort St. Angelo in Vittoriosa.

1565 – The Musical is an original musical about Malta’s greatest historical event – The Great Siege. The music was composed by Mro Paul Abela, with script and lyrics by Malcolm Galea. The stage direction was by Anthony Bezzina. The musical played to packed houses when it was premiered at the Mediterranean Conference Centre last February. The original cast was made up of over 100 performers, with the main roles being played by some of Malta’s finest singers such as newcomers Eleanor Spiteri and Cliff Zammit, and veterans Julie Zahra, Ludwig Galea, Roger Tirazona, Karen Polidano and Georgina Abela.
