@ZuluSweG I once experienced something similar when we had Shaka's celebration at the city hall in Cape Town (2023). The energy in there was totally different. I've been to opera concerts and productions, but that one was different.
Imimoya were in there indeed.
@Yanga_Co Studied at UCT during Mme Phakeng's era, and I never struggled with funding. I even got a laptop in my first year that I am still using. UCT and the opera school was better during those days compared to now.
