Bank of Valletta employees and their families had the opportunity to attend a special performance of TOI TOI’s Easter show Movie Magic, staged earlier this month at the Manoel Theatre, Valletta.
“At Bank of Valletta, we believe in holistic well-being, that includes the time and space to be present for family, to connect with one another, and to create positive experiences beyond the workplace,” Ernest Agius, chief operations officer at BOV and deputy chair of the BOV Foundation, said.
“Through the BOV Foundation and our long-standing patronage of the arts, we are proud to support initiatives like TOI TOI that enrich our community, while also reinforcing the kind of workplace culture that helps our people thrive.”
The event formed part of the bank’s wider community and culture agenda, championed through the BOV Foundation, which supports initiatives that strengthen quality of life and enrich the communities the bank serves. By bringing families together in a shared cultural experience, the bank aims to promote a more inclusive workplace culture, one that recognises employees not only as professionals, but also as parents and caregivers.
The sixth edition of TOI TOI’s annual family event, Movie Magic featured an engaging selection of film music performed live, creating an accessible introduction to theatre and orchestral performance for younger audiences.
The programme included music from ET, Star Wars, Avengers, Shrek and Harry Potter, as well as singalong moments inspired by popular titles from Disney, Netflix, Universal and Pixar.
The concert featured the TOI TOI orchestral ensemble and a cast of young singers, joined by special guests.
The production featured music direction by Tom Newall and choreography by Warren Bonello. It was written and directed by Kate Fenech Field, with contributions from emerging directors Faye Mallia and Nicole Sciberras, reflecting TOI TOI’s commitment to developing artistic talent on stage and behind the scenes.
Since 2000, BOV has continuously supported the theatre’s annual operatic production, reinforcing its role as a patron of the arts.
