The company will spend three weeks travelling to destinations around the country in order to help those who are planning to compete in the South African Schools Choral Eisteddfod.

There will be performances of Leonard Bernstein’s Trouble in Tahiti, which tells the story of the end of a marriage in suburban America during the early 1950s.

Each of the evenings will begin with a session discussing the life and work of Bernstein, before the start of the one-act opera.

The group will be making visits to locations including Johannesburg, Durban and East London during their trip, which will continue through to April 4th.

At the end of the tour the company will return to Cape Town where it will begin performing La Boheme at the Artscape Opera House from May 5th for two weeks.
