点评:Visiting Teatru Manoel was one of the most memorable experiences of our time in Valletta.
This is not just a tour of a beautiful historic theatre — it is a truly unique opportunity to see the theatre from the inside, including its backstage world, and to experience its history in a completely different way.
Our guide, actor Jeremy Grech, appearing as “Monsieur Baroque,” was absolutely wonderful. Charismatic, witty and engaging, he brought the history of Teatru Manoel and Maltese theatrical life to life rather than simply telling us facts and dates.
But for our family, the most unforgettable moment happened backstage. Our daughter plays the piano, and when she saw a magnificent Steinway grand piano, she very politely asked if she could touch this legendary instrument. The answer came immediately: “Yes, of course!”
A few seconds later, she was sitting at the Steinway and playing. For a young pianist, this was much more than simply trying another piano — it was one of those magical moments that can stay with you for a lifetime.
We are incredibly grateful not only for the fascinating tour, but also for the warmth and generosity of the people at Teatru Manoel who allowed a young musician to literally touch a legend.
A very special experience in Valletta and one we would wholeheartedly recommend.

这不仅仅是一次参观这座美丽的历史剧院的旅行——更是一个从内部了解剧院、见识其后台世界,并以全然不同的方式感受其历史的绝佳机会。
我们的导游是演员杰里米·格雷奇,他化身为“巴洛克先生”。他极具魅力、风趣幽默且引人入胜。他生动地讲述了马诺埃尔剧院的历史以及马耳他的戏剧发展历程,而不仅仅是向我们罗列各种事实与日期。
但对我们一家人来说,最难忘的时刻发生在后台。我们的女儿会弹钢琴,当她看到一架华丽的施坦威三角钢琴时,便非常有礼貌地询问是否可以触摸这件传奇般的乐器。回答立刻就来了:“当然可以!”
几秒钟后,她便坐在施坦威钢琴前开始弹奏。对于一位年轻的钢琴手而言……这绝不仅仅是试着弹奏另一架钢琴那么简单——这是那种能伴随人一生的神奇时刻。
我们心怀无限感激,不仅因为那次精彩的参观,更因为马诺埃尔剧院工作人员的热情与慷慨,他们让一位年轻的音乐家得以亲手触碰传奇。
这是在瓦莱塔的一段极为特别的体验,我们衷心推荐给大家。
