Throwback to our concert of Dreams and Desires at the HEAT Winter Arts Festival earlier this month.

Yearning met imagination, hope and reality blurred, and we explored the emotional landscapes we often dare only to dream.

Our vision for a performance of Il Trovatore was gloriously realised through partnership with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra and AfriArts Chorus.

@EUntefuhrer @Scentofawoman10 @BRICSinfo I completely disagree with you. I can’t support lack of tolerance for a practice which does other people absolutely no harm

[Opera UCT @OperaUct]

Thank you @rsulcas and @nytimesarts for this wonderful article about our Dalinda world premiere!

[ON AIR] On the #FridayWindDown, we venture into the world of the Opera and the growth of the genre in South Africa. Our next guests have just come off the world-premiere of the lost opera by Gaetano Donizetti - Dalinda. We were joined by Prof Jeremy Silver and Luvo Maranti of @OperaUct on #safmtalkingpoint with @CathyMohlahlana

[Opera with Opera News @operamagazine]

A scene Donizetti would never have imagined, since when he died in 1848 – leaving his opera Dalinda unperformed – his music had scarcely been heard in South Africa: rapturous reception for the world premiere staging of Dalinda at ���@OperaUct⁩ last night in Cape Town.

[Jeremy Silver @JeremySilver1]

Privileged to have ministers @GaytonMcK and @ricardomackenzi as well as SARS Commissioner @EdKieswetter at our première last night. And all on the same day that the government signed a groundbreaking agreement on arts and sports provision in schools!

Thinking back to conducting 2 wonderful Donizetti rarities with English Touring Opera, L’assedio di Calais & Il Furioso all’isola di San Domingo, as I prepare for a world premiere staging of Donizetti’s Dalinda next week with @OperaUct
