"We needed some thing young and vibrant to take us into 2004, especially as it's our 70th year of existance. Sean's work has always been challenging an accessible and Veronica Paeper's Cinderella is certainly one of her most entertaining ballets" say's Cape Town City Ballet's Executive Chairman, Prof. Elizabeth Triegaardt.
"Cape Town will play hostess to many tourists over this period" Say's Triegaardt. "So we have prepared a season that will appeal to families, sophisticated couples and those who are still young at heart, with a programme that ranges from comedy and make-belief to nostalgia and athleticism. |
