About the event
In this brand new solo production, Magdalene Minnaar shares her diverse love of music. Together with pianist Maryke Johnson, they have put together a compelling programme featuring some of the famous, fabulous and fun works from the Baroque and Classical eras, all the way to the shiny lights of the musical theatre stage.
“From Broadway to Baroque” features early music jewels like Lascia ch’io Pianga and Schafe können sicher weiden, as well as opera arias from Così fan tutte, I Puritani, Norma and Faust. They end the programme with selection of numbers from The Merry Widow, Sweeny Todd, Les Misérables, Evita and The Producers.
The festival opens on 1 October with a new concert added daily until 5 October. All performances will be accessible for another two weeks. Sessions during which the public can communicate live with the musicians will be available on Facebook. The dates will be announced.
Tickets cost R40 per concert and R100 for a festival package. Included is a complete programme with notes on the works and musicians.
