Aurora Resounds is the opening event of the 2026-2027 50th anniversary special season celebrating the 50 years of Aurora (1976) and opera in Gozo (1977).

Quite naturally, the death of cinema within the Aurora marked a natural transition and evolution as cinema technology became more advanced and sophisticated and moved into specific cinema theatres. Yet, the Aurora with two pairs of fully functioning projectors stands as a temple and sanctuary of cinema heritage on the island. Aurora Resounds will celebrate all of this, with an extraordinary display of cinema machinery, memorabilia, and above all, sumptuous musical masterpieces that made the greatest blockbusters so memorable.

Aurora Resounds appeals to all those who love cinema and cinema music. But it will also be a trip down memory lane for those who can reminisce the golden days of the seventies when the Aurora was being built as the largest community project on the island. The evening will come with lots of music but also with a powerful narrative of which so many can share.
