BOV brings its employees’ families closer through culture with Toi Toi Movie Magic at Teatru Manoel

A dedicated performance for the children of Bank employees underscores BOV’s commitment to holistic employee well-being and work-life balance, supported through the BOV Foundation and the Bank’s long-standing patronage of the arts.

“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,” said Ernest Agius, Chief Operations Officer at BOV and Deputy Chair of the BOV Foundation. “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 performance formed part of TOI TOI’s Easter run, staged between the 4^th and 6^th April, and was hosted at Teatru Manoel as a dedicated family event for Bank employees.

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 continues to promote a more inclusive workplace culture, one that recognises employees not only as professionals, but also as parents and caregivers.

Held at the Manoel Theatre in Valletta, the TOI TOI Easter Concert Movie Magic, the sixth edition of TOI TOI’s annual family event, 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 E.T., 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, delivering a family-friendly performance that encourages children to engage with the performing arts and builds confidence through live cultural experiences.

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, Bank of Valletta has continuously supported the theatre’s annual operatic production, reinforcing its role as a patron of the arts and contributing to a vibrant cultural calendar that creates opportunities for local artists to perform alongside established international talent.
