The Power of a Woman's Voice

The Power of a Woman’s Voice

This Women’s Month, Johannesburg Opera invites you to an unforgettable afternoon of music, beauty and celebration.

On Sunday, 30 August 2026, the magnificent Northwards House in Parktown will provide the perfect setting for our annual Women’s Concert, The Power of a Woman’s Voice.

This special occasion honours women, their stories and the extraordinary power they possess—to inspire, uplift and transform the world around them.

Our patrons will be treated to beautiful opera arias, ensembles and beloved songs performed by a remarkable all-women cast: sopranos Brenda Makgwe and Sinesipho Funo, mezzo-soprano Lebogang Polori, and accompanist Kerryn Wisniewski.

Come and experience the warmth of live music in one of Johannesburg’s most elegant historic homes. Whether you are a lifelong opera lover or simply looking for a meaningful way to celebrate Women’s Month, this promises to be an afternoon that will stir the heart and stay with you long after the final note.

Join us as we celebrate the courage, grace and resilience of women—and the unmistakable power of a woman’s voice.
