The Cape Town Opera Chorus, named Chorus of the Year at the 2013 International Opera Awards, will give a single afternoon concert in the Grimaldi Forum’s Salle des Princes on Sunday 22nd November, bringing a programme rooted in isiZulu and isiXhosa song to Monaco.
Titled ‘Cape Town Heritage Horizons’ and presented by the Monte-Carlo Opera, the matinée explores themes of faith, memory, grief and resilience, setting traditional choral pieces alongside modern works such as Christopher Tin’s Baba Yetu.
