The greatest piece of music theatre performed as you’ve never heard it before – the South African way: 33 singers, marimbas, drums and township percussion. It’s a story about the trials of life: growing up, finding the love of your life, learning to be wise. It’s adventure, fairy story, comedy and drama, all set to glorious music. A delight for young and old alike. Mozart’s THE MAGIC FLUTE – Impempe Yomlingo
History
First performed at the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town and at the Young Vic Theatre in London in 2007, the production was rapturously received by both Cape Town and London audiences. The Baxter Theatre experienced some of its most integrated audiences ever and at the Young Vic it became the fastest selling show in its history. The production then transferred to the Duke of York’s Theatre in the WEST END for a ten week sell out season and went on to win the 2008 Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival.
