Mandela Trilogy heads to The Lowry this September – Bolton Live!
Wales Millennium Centre and Cape Town Opera are delighted to present the Mandela Trilogy, at The Lowry on Fri 23 & Sat 24 Sept 2016, where the tour will close.
Told in three parts by a cast and orchestra of over 60 South African performers, the music matches the vastly different phases of Mandela's journey from freedom fighter to president. The upbeat jazz and swing-influenced songs of Sophiatown are framed by musical styles more familiar in contemporary opera – with a dash of Xhosa folk music that grounds the production in its African roots.
