Karmen Azzopardi Reminisces at the Manoel Theatre

Malta Independent Thursday, 5 October 2006, 00:00 Last update: about 12 years ago

On Thursday 12 October at 8pm, the Manoel Theatre audience will accompany Karmen Azzopardi on her life-long journey with the stage.

Karmen Azzopardi will be performing selections from Christopher Fry, Henrik Ibsen, Eduardo de Filippo, John Pielmeier, Jay Presson Allen, Jean Anouilh, John Kerr, Tennessee Williams and Berthold Brecht, Francis Ebejer and Euripedes.

An actress of many parts, Karmen Azzopardi co-founded Atturi Theatre Productions which brought audiences in Malta face-to-face with works they had never watched. She owes her training for the stage to the Actors’ Studio in London, and that for broadcasting to the BBC, consequently playing numerous parts both on radio and television apart from, of course, the stage. Her last stage appearance was at the Manoel Theatre last year, in the role of Mother Superior in John Pielmeier’s Agnes of God directed by Anthony Bezzina.

Karmen Azzopardi is the recipient of several awards, the latest being the Culture Awareness Award by the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts.

Reservations for her performance, which will be assisted by Godwin Scerri and directed by Jon Rosser, may be made from the Manoel Theatre Booking Office, tel.: 2124-6389, email: [email protected].
