8 gozotoday | FRIDAY • 28 NOVEMBER 2025 CULTURE Malta's queen of pop Ira Losco for one evening in Gozo LOSCO has been part of Malta's soundtrack for more than twen- ty years. From her Eurovision favourite 7th Wonder to chart hits like Hey Now, The Person I Am, What I'd Give and Me Luv U Long Time, she has built a catalogue that's become part of everyday life here on the is- lands. Her sound has grown up with her audience, always shift- ing but still full of energy and honesty. Fresh off the release of her brand-new Halloween-themed single Monster After Midnight, Losco continues to show her creative range and fearless ap- proach to music. This new show, produced by iCAN, will give her best-known songs a fresh twist. Working with Kris Spiteri and Maestro Aurelio Belli, Losco will perform reimagined versions backed by strings, piano, percussion and harp. It's a chance to hear famil- iar tracks in a more cinematic light, designed to fit the beauti- ful setting of Teatru Aurora. The night will also feature Gozitan artists Mel Xkejfa from Chasing Pandora, Han- nah Theuma and Pamela Bezzi- na, three voices that have each made their own mark on the local scene. To top it off, Los- co's stage look will be designed by Gozo's own Luke Azzopardi, known for creating pieces that feel as bold as they are elegant. Teatru Aurora itself adds something special. The theatre's soft lighting and rich acoustics make it one of the most atmos- pheric venues in the islands. Tickets are priced at €60 for Gold, €50 for Silver and €40 for Bronze, with refundable book- ing available for peace of mind. Anyone aged five and over can attend, making it a perfect ex- cuse for a weekend getaway. If you've ever sung along to Hey Now in the car or remember 7th Wonder lighting up Eurovision, this is your chance to see Ira Losco in her element, live in concert, and close to home. Make a week- end of it, catch the ferry, and let Gozo do the rest. Fresh off the release of her brand-new Halloween-themed single Monster After Midnight, Ira Losco continues to show her creative range and fearless approach to music
