Getting to know Lara Azzopardi

Stephen Calleja Sunday, 3 July 2022, 10:30 Last update: about 3 years ago

Lara Azzopardi will be returning to her character on Ic-Caqqufa later this year, a role which enabled her to win the best female actress award in 2017.

A nurse clinical specialist by profession, she wanted to be a vet when she was young and, given her love for animals, it is her biggest regret.

Lara has taken part in other productions with leading roles like: Gizelle, 506, Evangelisti, Emilja, Min Imissu and Game over.
