Cape Town City Ballet’s (CTCB) winter season will run from 4
to 28 August at Artscape in the Opera House.
Bookings are now open for the programme that will feature Romeo and Juliet and an invigorating new triple bill Ikigai inspired by the Japanese concept of purpose, happiness and peace.
Select performances will star international guest artists, to be announced, and be accompanied by Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO).
Seating remains limited due to social distancing and government regulations. All Covid-19 regulations will be in place including social distancing and wearing of masks throughout.
Following her acclaimed recent productions of Carmen and A Christmas Carol – The Story of Scrooge, Veronica Paeper returns to stage with Romeo and Juliet for CTCB. Performed to Sergei Prokofiev’s dramatic score, William Shakespeare’s quintessential boy-meets-girl tale, follows the life course of the ill-fated, star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet.
The dream creative team is completed with Décor and Costume Design by Peter Cazalet and Lighting Design by Wilhelm Disbergen.
Ikigai is an invigorating triple bill inspired by the Japanese philosophy of life purpose, life happiness and life peace. Suitably depicted in those ideas are ballets by three generations of award-winning choreographers: Jirí Kylián’s Falling Angels, Sir Frederick Ashton’s Les Patineurs and Kenneth Tindall’s Polarity, in collaboration with the artists of CTCB.
Romeo and Juliet will be presented at Artscape from 4 to 28 August, and Ikigai will be presented from 17 to 28 August.
