ABOUT

ONLINE SALES HAVE CLOSED - THERE ARE STILL TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR


Handel’s Messiah is very likely the most performed oratorio in the history of sacred music. Messiah is described as “a masterpiece with drama to spare in every page of its score” that “feels as fresh today as it did when first premiered in Dublin in 1742”.
 
Join the Cape Town Youth Choir and Junges Vokalensemble Hannover in a performance where Handel’s “musical fireworks” is matched by the youthful sound and energy of the two youth choirs.
 
South African tenor Levy Sekgapane, first prize winner of Placido Domingo’s prestigious Operalia 2017 competition makes his “Messiah debut” in the role of the evangelist. Since winning the Belvedere Singing Competition in 2015, Sekgapane has rapidly become one of the world’s most sought-after young Rossini tenors, triumphing in major opera houses including Munich, Copenhagen and Rome.
 
Completing a stellar line-up of soloists are well-known soprano Magdalene Minnaar, Minette du Toit Pearce (mezzo) and bass Bongani Kubheka.
 
The CTYC Festival orchestra is led by Suzanne Martens with Erik Dippenaar on the harpsichord.
 

There are two performances of Messiah: 
  • Saturday 24 March at the Jameson Hall (UCT Upper Campus) (There is a separate Quicket.co.za event to book tickets for the 25 March concert.)
  • and Sunday 25 March at the Hugo Lambrechts Auditorium, Picton Street, Parow.
