The music of one of history's best-loved rock groups, Queen, will once again be performed under the direction of musical conductor Michael Hankinson. Freddy Mercury's exhilarating vocals will be reinterpreted by Duncan Royce and Luciano Zuppa, who will perform live onstage among the dancers along with renowned soprano Zanne Stapelberg.
Choreographer Sean Bovim, who brought the wildly popular SwingTime at the Ballet to the stage, enjoyed a successful career as a dancer with the then CAPAB Ballet before going on to achieve choreographic success around the world. His choreography is famously athletic and technically challenging, and Queen at the Ballet is no exception: inventive, excitingly fresh movements in many different dance styles, from classical ballet to jazz, showcase the many talents of the CTCB dancers.
Part of the grand spectacle that is Queen at the Ballet are costumes by some of the best-known names in the South African fashion industry. Gavin Rajah, Craig Port, Christiaan Gabriel Du Toit and Malcolm Kluk, in association with Levi's, all contribute to make Queen at the Ballet a fashion statement not to be missed. |
