Friday Wind Down with Opera UCT
Manage episode 439704317 series 2915031
This morning, we try something new. We venture into classical music and more specifically - Opera. This genre is in full bloom in South Africa as many talented performers have made a breakthrough on international stages around the world: Pretty Yende, Zanne Stapelberg, Phumeza Matshikiza, Golda Schultz and many more.
Our next guest is renowned in his own right and is building a new generation of performers who will take the baton forward. Recently, Opera UCT held a world premiere for stage adaption of Gaetano Donizetti's the lost opera: Dalinda. We are also joined by one of the leads of the play to tell us their journey into opera and performance. The opera performance also saw the Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie was in attendance alongside various stakeholders to show their support and commitment to the arts.
Guest: Prof. Jeremy Silver - Director at Opera UCT
Guest: Luvo Maranti - Student (Tenor) at Opera UCT
