Today, the Manoel Theatre continues to put up a broad variety of theatrical productions in both English and Maltese, opera, musical recitals (including lunchtime recitals in "Sala Isouard"), poetry recitals, dramatic readings, and an annual Christmas pantomime, produced by the "Malta Amateur Dramatic Club". Management of the theatre is currently entrusted to Chairman Michael Grech, deputy chairman Kenneth Zammit Tabona, and board members Mario Philip Azzopardi, Anita Alosio and Lino Farrugia. Many productions are regularly presented, both by local talent and international stars, and the theatre has been a source for the cultural appreciation of the arts in Malta. Since 1960, it has had an official Management Committee and is no longer rented out for whole seasons to impresarios as in the past. The theatre's musical programmes retain some variety, but the main emphasis during recent decades has been on instrumental music.
