This year in Belgrade, the Embassy of the Sovereign Order of Malta wanted to combine the timeless cultural and music values with the eternal humanitarian and charitable mission of the Order, in Serbia and all over the world.
The traditional Feast Day of the Order’s Patron Saint, St. John the Baptist, will be celebrated on June 20 at the National Theatre in the Serbian capital, with the famous Opera “La Traviata” by Giuseppe Verdi, with the soprano Claire Coolen and the baritone Alberto Gazale.
The enchanting notes of the Verdi’s masterpiece will be enjoyed by colleagues and friends of the Order during this event which represents, and always did, the starting point of a new year full of work and activities inspired by the millennium old Maltese “Polar Star”: Tuitio fidei et obsequium pauperum(Protection of faith and service to the poor).
