In the Sunday Times:
The Cape Town Opera and the Swedish company Norrlands Opera have embarked on an exciting experiment of combining Xhosa and English in an opera. The story is about a fictional meeting between Swedish poet Bengt Linder and Xhosa prophetess Nongqawuse. The story includes the historical event where the Xhosa nation were told to destroy their cattle and crops so that the ancestors would rid the land of the colonialists. The show received standing ovations at the premiere in Sweden. We will have to wait until October to see the show at the Artscape. Congratulations! Angela
