By David Salazar

Cape Town Opera and the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra will present Mozart’s “Requiem” on March 30, 2024.

The performance at Paarl Toringkerk will be conducted by Bernhard Gueller. The soloists include Siphamandla Moyake, Julia Portela Piñón, Mongezi Mosoaka, and Lonwabo Mose.

The vocal writing in Mozart’s Requiem is absolutely sublime – it is one of the most coveted oratorios for singers to perform,” said Magdalene Minnaar, Artistic Director of Cape Town Opera, in a press release. “It contains some of the most riveting and sublime vocal writing, both for solo and ensemble. The quartets are particularly genial in its layering of vocal lines – it is one of my personal favourite works.”

The performance kicks off at 4 p.m. local time.
