The Bald Diva

A typical English family: a typical English husband; a typical English wife, and a typical English home – except for the grandfather clock that strikes any number of times whenever it feels like it! How odd! And why are all the family friends named Bobby Watson?

Not much makes sense in Eugene Ionesco’s acclaimed play, The Bald Diva, but that’s half the fun. A French maid, a fireman and two very confused dinner guests all turn a “typical” English evening into an experience that no-one is likely to forget soon.

The Bald Diva is an hour-long romp through the absurdity of language, English tradition and strained marital relationships. Directed by Dion van Niekerk, and starring a bunch of highly talented students, this classic masterpiece is not to be missed!

The Bald Diva will be playing at the University of the Free State’s Scaena theatre from the 24th to the 26th May at 19:30pm. Tickets are available at Computicket.

After the interval, the OSM CAMERATA (OSMC), will perform Mozart’s Symphony No. 38 in D, K.504 (commonly known as the Prague Symphony) as well as the well-known aria Lascia ch’io pianga from the opera Rinaldo by Georg Friedrich Handel to be recited by mezzo soprano Bertha Menyatso. 

 

The OSMC will be conducted by Xavier Cloete - laureate of the Len van Zyl National Orchestral Conducting Competition (2013).  In the spirit of the OSMC’s dedication to excellence and mentorship, Eddy Marcano - the Artistic director of the Simón Bolívar Conservatory of Music (Venezuela), will serve as guest concertmaster to the OSMC for this concert.  Marcano will be in Bloemfontein on the 19th of March as the prime instructor of the UNISA Music Foundation Violin Symposium.
