Description

Following the sell-out success of The Caravaggio Experience, Udjenza proudly presents a new Valletta Resounds production, Sailors in the City: The Strait Street experience. Set in the heart of wartime Malta, the show transports you to a time where music and stories lured sailors into Valletta’s most infamous street.


It’s Victory in Europe Day, WWII has just ended, and The Gut is alive with music, mischief, and celebration. Amidst the clinking glasses and jubilant street-side cheers, Violetta, a singer and barmaid and her brother Duminku, a sailor bursting with stories from the front, welcome you to the heart of Valletta’s spirited past.


Together, they revive forgotten characters and hidden tales of the street, weaving them with wartime classics like We’ll Meet Again, Roll Out The Barrel, Lili Marlene, and more, brought to life by Gennaro, the bar’s accordionist.


Performed in the intimate setting of Sailor’s Paradise Bar, this isn’t just a show, it’s an experience staged within a living museum. Original artefacts line the walls, each one echoing the untamed spirit of Malta’s past. 


Grab a Blue Label on the house and step back into the gritty glamour of Malta’s most legendary strip.
