Romeo and Juliet: Maynardville 2024

Maynardville 2026: Cape Ballet Africa | Giselle

"I have seen ballets in many countries around the world including the Bolshoi in Moscow and the Royal Ballet at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and this performance ranked with the very best. The soloists were superb and the corps de ballet just wonderful - and all thanks to some really sensitive and delicate choreography. It brought to life Adolphe Adam’s wonderful score and just made for a joyous and memorable evening. Bravo to all involved!??"

Maynardville 2025: The Tempest

"Loved the inviting fairy lights leading the way into the forest. Nice bar set-up, though there should be some notice up regarding the "Glass fee" not being a refundable deposit but a "leave or keep your glass" policy. We all greatly enjoyed the performance and were most impressed by the simplicity yet dramatic effect of the stage setting, in amongst the trees. Thank you for a wonderful evening. Look forward to the next production."
