The early hours of this morning saw the world premiere of selections from Roger Waters forthcoming opera, Ca Ira, in Malta to accompany the EU accession celebrations of the country.

A New Year's Eve style countdown in the capital of Malta lead to the words "Welcome Europe" and "Solidarity" being beamed onto Fort St Angelo's imposing walls, as the former Pink Floyd front man's eagerly awaited new work started up. Smoke from a barrage of fireworks cleared to reveal 25 flag-bearing small sailing ships in the harbour - one for each EU (European Union) member state from midnight. The member states increased in number when ten states joined the existing fifteen.

We have now received confirmation of a forthcoming re-release of Roger Waters' performance of The Wall, held in Berlin, 1990.

A limited edition, as part of Universal's "Deluxe Sound & Vision" range, "The Wall 1990" is being released as a three disc set - consisting of the 26-track double CD (note: not the SACD), accompanied by the region 2 (PAL) DVD. The DVD houses the same extras as the normal remastered edition, released last year; the main difference will be the packaging, designed to house all three discs in a united package.

The set will be available from June 14th 2004, initially just in the UK, and the recommended retail price for this edition is a quite reasonable £21.99. As yet we have no details of if/when it will be available in other countries.

Preparations for tonight's stunning light show in Malta, courtesy of Gert Hof, and accompanied by the premiere of selections from former Pink Floyd front man Roger Waters forthcoming opera, Ca Ira, have gone well.

Rehearsals for the light show on Fort St Angelo's bastions went ahead last night, and successfully gave a flavour of what an estimated worldwide television audience of 1 billion have got to look forward to. Thankfully, the weather has turned out to be better than originally feared!

Some months ago, during our conversations with legendary film director Adrian Maben, he revealed some exciting news concerning Roger Waters upcoming opera, Ca Ira. Maben, who was the man behind Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii, swore us to secrecy at the time, but has today given us the go-ahead to exclusively reveal some details to you.
