Donizetti's Maria Stuarda: Cape Town Opera
Over het evenement
Donizetti and Schiller give us the greatest confrontation history never saw, that between the Virgin Queen and Mary, Queen of Scots.
Banned by the Royal Court of Naples and censored at La Scala as too‐hot‐to‐handle, this riveting examination of the pride and frailties of the people who lead our destinies leaps off the page.
On alternating nights, Cape Town favorites Noluvuyiso Mpofu and Maudée Montierre embody the passionate Maria, as Bongiwe Nakani and Violina Anguelov dive deeply into Elisabetta's psyche.
Thobela Ntshanyana and Makudupanyane Senaoana return from European triumphs to say farewell to UCT in a belcanto festival that puts the "melody" back into melodrama.
