Lunchtime concert

Musetta Ensemble originates from the idea of downsizing pieces from operas and musicals to produce pocket-size performances for both small and large stages. The main objective is to create a medium between the accompaniment that a piano can provide and the rich support of a full orchestra. The ensemble performs excerpts from a variety of works that introduce the audience to different leading roles; it's like having a cup of tea with your favourite character; thus making the music more accessible. The concert includes French, Italian and Spanish operas, as well as German operetta. In contrast, the ensemble has also included instrumental intermezzi and traditional South African music.
