UCT Opera School, in collaboration with Cape Town Opera, presents IL VIAGGIO A REIMS (The Journey to Reims) by Gioacchino Rossini from 9-15 May (Theatre).

Director: Matthew Wild
Conductor: Kamal Khan
UCT Symphony Orchestra

Rossini's exuberant coronation comedy was written to showcase the fourteen greatest voices of his time. The whimsical plot involves a motley group of European dignitaries who are stranded at a spa hotel en route to a coronation. CTO and UCT's co-production will receive a witty and elegantly (choreographic) updating, as fourteen B-list celebrities find themselves stranded in a chic airport hotel lobby - expect vocal fireworks, ebullient arias and energetic finales!

Sung in Italian with English text projected above the stage.
