Media Release

A dancing cat, a howling dog, and a vampire bunny. The perfect pet combination for any family. It is a dark and stormy night and Chester (the family cat) and Harold (the family dog) sit waiting for their owners to return home from the movies. Chester and Harold are more than just pets, they are good friends too. When the Monroes finally get home, they come bearing a surprise: they have found a bunny in the movie theatre. However, this is no ordinary rabbit … this is the extraordinary Bunnicula. When the family’s produce starts losing its juice, Chester thinks he knows what is causing the fantastic phenomenon. Bunnicula is a vampire! Or maybe Chester’s imagination is getting the better of him. Singing and dancing their way through this hilarious mystery, the furry friends find room in their hearts, and in their home, for one very unique bunny.

This unique musical Children’s theatre production is directed by DeBeer Cloete and features second-year Drama students in the South African premiere of Deborah and James Howe’s Bunnicula. The production runs from the 11th to the 14th op April at the Scaena Rehearsal Room on the UFS Campus and tickets are available through Computicket. The production is recommended for children 7 years and up and everyone young at heart.

Handel's Messiah (21-22 April) Test

Messiah
An Oratorio by Handel presented by Alumni Voices and the Odeion School of Music
21 & 22 April 2017
Odeion
19:30

The Messiah is an oratorio composed in 1741 by Georg Friedrich Händel.  It was first performed in 1742 and became one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music. The performances of this magnificent oratorio will take place shortly after Easter.

The text of the oratorio is an extended reflection on Jesus Christ as the Messiah.  It begins in Part I with prophecies by Isaiah and others, and moves to the annunciation to the shepherds, the only “scene” taken from the Gospels.  In Part II Handel concentrates on the Passion and ends with the “Hallelujah” chorus. In Part III he covers the resurrection of the dead and Christ’s glorification in heaven.

Alumni Voices will be directed by Leona Geldenhuys with soloists Emily Dangwa (soprano), Teresa de Wit (alto), Albertus Engelbrecht (tenor)  and  Yonwaba Mbo (bass).  The orchestra will include the Odeion String Quartet, Jan Beukes (harpsichord) and Eljee du Plooy (organ).
