A timely celebration of South African Art Song at this 5th collaboration between #OperaUCT and the vocal division @StellenboschUni.
Come and hear these talented young singers, supported brilliantly by @JeremySilver1 at the piano.

Throwback to our concert of Dreams and Desires at the HEAT Winter Arts Festival earlier this month.
Yearning met imagination, hope and reality blurred, and we explored the emotional landscapes we often dare only to dream.

Our vision for a performance of Il Trovatore was gloriously realised through partnership with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra and AfriArts Chorus.

[ON AIR] On the #FridayWindDown, we venture into the world of the Opera and the growth of the genre in South Africa. Our next guests have just come off the world-premiere of the lost opera by Gaetano Donizetti - Dalinda. We were joined by Prof Jeremy Silver and Luvo Maranti of @OperaUct on #safmtalkingpoint with @CathyMohlahlana

A scene Donizetti would never have imagined, since when he died in 1848 – leaving his opera Dalinda unperformed – his music had scarcely been heard in South Africa: rapturous reception for the world premiere staging of Dalinda at @OperaUct last night in Cape Town.
Privileged to have ministers @GaytonMcK and @ricardomackenzi as well as SARS Commissioner @EdKieswetter at our première last night. And all on the same day that the government signed a groundbreaking agreement on arts and sports provision in schools!
