The Solidarity Concert in aid of the Astra Theatre's Restoration Fund, which was to be held at the Mediterranean Conference Centre, in Valletta on Saturday has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond the organising committee's control.

The National Orchestra and the Mediterranean Conference Centre had teamed up to raise funds to restore the Astra Theatre, damaged by fire on the last day of the theatre's Mediterranea Festival recently.

The management of the 35-year-old theatre has already started working to bring back the theatre to its original state, also incorporating new technological developments. A number of events will be organised by the Astra theatre next year to raise funds for this purpose.

Patrons who had bought tickets may obtain a refund from the Mediterranean Conference Centre's booking office. Alternatively they may wish to forfeit their ticket and the income will be donated to the Astra.
