Lebogang Ditshwene, is a seasoned Graphic Designer and Business women who has twice travelled overseas through Leadership Development Programmes initiated by the South African Government.
This past Thursday, Ms Dithswene and I went to see the Mandela Trilogy an epic Opera/Musical show based on the life of Nelson Mandela.
"Mandela Trilogy concentrates on three key periods in Madiba’s life, each composed in a different musical style making this piece unique, interesting and appealing to a varied audience. Mandela Trilogy opens with an oratorio dramatising formative moments in Mandela’s early years in the Transkei, as composer Allan Stephenson weaves traditional Xhosa songs into a classical framework. Mandela as revolutionary is brought to life in Mike Campbell’s jazzy Sophiatown act, before Peter Louis van Dijk’s final act examines the Robben Island years and the final walk to freedom."
The Opera is brought to life by the talented Aubrey Poo and Gloria Bosman who showcase powerful vocals throughout this outstanding Opera, singing classical songs from the Sophiatown era such as "Meadowlands", "Pata Pata" and popular struggle anthems. Mandela Trilogy was definitely a refreshing outing that will forever be remembered by those who went out to see it! Its such a pity that it was only showing for such a short period.
