The Masque Theatre, Muizenberg, Cape Town
The Cape Town City Ballet (CTCB) and the Dance for All Youth Company (DFAYC) will jointly present 'Winter Spectacular' at the Masque Theatre in Muizenberg, Cape Town, from 5 to 7 June 2008. The season is directed and produced by CTCB's Executive Director Professor Elizabeth Triegaardt, and Philip Boyd, the Artistic Director of the Dance for All Youth Company.
This season marks the fifth collaboration between two of the country's most dynamic companies, the CTCB, South Africa's premier ballet company, and the DFAYC, one of the newer additions to the professional dance scene, and it is a "must" for all ballet and dance lovers in the city.
'Winter Spectacular' will showcase thrilling pas de deux and solos from great and much-loved classical ballets such as 'The Merry Widow', performed recently at the Artscape Opera House to great acclaim, as well as the exciting and well-known ballets 'Don Quixote', 'Le Corsaire' and 'Paquita'. |
