The Playhouse Company, an Agency of the Department of Sport, Arts & Culture, is proud to present an iconic concert titled ‘10 South African Sopranos’, which takes place in the Drama Theatre on Sunday, March 26 at 2pm.
South Africa is internationally renowned for the wealth of great voices our country has produced, and continues to produce, on the stages of leading opera houses and concert halls across the globe.
With this perspective in mind, it is appropriate opportunity for the Playhouse, as one the country’s leading performing arts bodies, to step up to the mark, and showcase a cavalcade of our star performers on eThekwini’s premiere stage.
The company’s loyal audience is sure to take great delight in saluting this magnificent roster of singing talent, as it performs a superbly curated programme of golden classics.
’10 South African Sopranos’, by any standard, a red-letter event on our country’s arts scene, features a stellar line-up of the country’s top sopranos.
