Orpheum Theatre, Art Nouveau theatre in Gzira, Malta
The Orpheum Theatre features ornate stone carvings on its facade, with two different typography styles displaying the venue name at the top of the building.
The theatre, designed by Harold J Borg in 1932, initially served as both a cinema and performance venue for the local community of Gzira.
Italian performers, including tenor Tito Schipa and singer Claudio Villa, presented memorable concerts at the Orpheum Theatre during the 1950s.
The main hall accommodates 1,200 people with rows of seats arranged on traditional Maltese patterned tiles leading to a sky-blue decorated stage.
The ceiling showcases a painting of Orpheus by artist Raphael Bonnici Calì, contributing to the building's Grade 1 classification since 2001.
