Along with being a food and wine lover’s paradise, the Mother City is also a hotspot for those looking to satisfy their cultural cravings.
If you’re in the mood for a night filled with angelic voices, beguiling costumes, and what many consider to be the greatest opera ever written, then grab your seats to a glorious affair thanks to the Artscape’s latest addition: Le Nozze di Figaro.
Composed by the late and great Mozart, this masterpiece offers a South African twist with an all-South African cast. This enchanting opera is directed by Magdalene Minnaar with set and costume design by Maritha Visagie and Rabia Davids.
“A good dollop of farce, adultery, role-playing and cunning scheming” is set to take the stage as live music delightfully tingles your eardrums thanks to the incredible Cape Town Pops Orchestra, conducted by the incredible Schalk van der Merwe.
While you’re sure to be entertained by the antics of this much-loved opera’s characters, including the infamous Countess, the plot also navigates several poignant topics such as abuse and mental health issues.
