Orpheum Theatre, Art Nouveau theatre in Gzira, Malta
The Orpheum Theatre is an Art Deco structure in Gzira featuring an elaborately carved stone facade. Inside, the main hall displays ornamental details, traditional patterned flooring, and a decoratively painted ceiling.
The building was designed by Harold J Borg in 1932 and initially functioned as both a cinema and performance hall. It remained central to the cultural life of Gzira for several decades.
The space served as a social gathering place where locals came together for entertainment and performances. The ornate decorations and layout still reflect how important such venues were to community life.
The theatre is located in a residential neighborhood and is easy to reach on foot. The main hall seats many people, so there is generally good visibility from most spots in the venue.
The ceiling features a painting of Orpheus created by a local artist, which inspired the venue's name. This artistic detail became one of the reasons the building earned heritage protection status.
