Overview
Cape Town Opera begins its European summer season with a recital featuring an inspiring compilation of arias from the operatic repertoire, African folk music and gospel songs.
It will also include musical numbers from Mandela Trilogy, which makes its debut at Italy’s Ravenna Festival on Thursday 9 June 2016 and will tour the UK and Ireland in August – the six CTO singers performing in this concert are all from the production. This recital marks Cape Town Opera’s première and the debut of South African classical vocalists at Wigmore Hall.
