The National Agency for the Performing Arts (NAPA) was established in 2023 with the distinct aim of raising the profile of performing arts in Malta both locally and internationally. It is a public agency providing a joint legal, administrative and organisational framework for KorMalta, TeatruMalta and ŻfinMalta.

As the go-to agency for the performing arts, its aim is to have an active role in policymaking and advocacy for the performing arts as a discipline in all its facets – from backstage to onstage, from administration to performance and from development to legacy – through the creation of a sustainability strategy for the agency itself and the sector it operates within, as well as synergies with other public cultural organisations (PCOs) and the private sector.

In its contribution towards fair and sustainable opportunities for engagement within the arts, NAPA administers and sustains the three national companies of theatre, dance and choir – Teatru Malta, ŻfinMalta and KorMalta. Its organisational structure has been designed to strengthen the respective artistic visions, development, brands and identities of TeatruMalta, ŻfinMalta and KorMalta, ensuring they are uniquely distinct from each other and produce a yearly stand-alone artistic programme but synergised through co-productions and collaborations for a local and international audience.

The agency is governed by a Board of Directors and a chairperson and is managed by Mro. Dominic Galea as Chief Executive Officer, Deputy Director Christabel Borg Preca and three Artistic Directors.
