ENTERTAINMENT NEWS - As part of the 2020 Dias Festival, the Mossel Bay Arts Society has arranged for the magnificent husband and wife duo, soprano Linette van der Merwe and tenor Chris Mostert, to charm the local audience with highlights from popular operas.
Pianist Olive Sandilands will accompany them.
The audience can look forward, among many other opera gems, Una furtiva lagrima from Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore; Pres des remparts de Seville from Bizet’s Carmen; and Nuit d’ivresse from Berlioz’s Le Troyens.
As the society has managed to obtain a part-sponsorship for the concert, entry will be free of charge but booking is essential. Preference will be given at the door to ticket-holders. To cover expenses, such as flights and meals, the society will be asking for donations from society members and the public.
The concert takes place tomorrow, Saturday 1 February, at the Dias Museum at 19:30. Doors open at 18:00.
Tickets can be obtained from Abé Meintjes at the Espresso Spot (at the Dias Museum) on week days between 09:00 and 15:00. Abé may also be contacted on 083 268 3718.
Olive Sandilands will accompany the couple on piano.
