The Cape Town Opera is all set to present Tosca, an opera which has already won hearts in Johannesburg. The opera, with its captivating storyline, cinematic direction, and visually stunning spectacle, is scheduled to be performed at the Opera House of Artscape Theatre in the coming month.

The Director’s Excitement

Magdalene Minnaar, the director of Tosca, is thrilled to present the opera in Cape Town after its successful run in Johannesburg. She reminisced about an unforgettable moment during one of the performances in Johannesburg, where the audience’s applause reached new heights. Minnaar believes that the music is the soul of the opera, contributing to the creation of deep and engaging characters.

The Focus on Lighting Design

Minnaar also highlighted the lighting design, which adds an exhilarating dimension to the production. The opera features a chorus comprising both adults and children from Cape Town, with two local performers in the lead roles.

The Talented Cast

Conroy Scott, playing the antagonist Baron Scarpia, and Nobulumko Mngxekeza, portraying Floria Tosca, are both praised for their exceptional performances. Scott’s character is described as a typical operatic ‘bad boy’ who enjoys hurting people, and Mngxekeza’s character is a confident diva unafraid to chase her desires.
