"... and even when Ginastera gives you one piece with a close family likeness to another, you listen with a sense of renewal thanks to performances by Mariangela Vacatello of a superb zest, brio and imaginative scope... she has technique in spades, making her a front-runner with Argerich's legendary live Three Argentinian Dances... no praise could be high enough for Vacatello's achievement." (Gramophone 2016)

Mariangela Vacatello is recognised worldwide as an exceptionally gifted artist, reflected in the numerous awards and effusive reviews she received. Her performances have regularly been broadcasted by prestigious radio stations worldwide. The Second Prize at the Franz Liszt International Piano Competition in 1999, at the age of 17, catapulted her towards an international career as a soloist, performing at Wigmore Hall, Bridgewater Hall (Manchester), Walt Disney Hall, Montpellier Festival, Weill Hall (NYC) and the Oriental Centre (Shanghaj). She has appeared with such prominent orchestras as the Philharmonic of Teatro alla Scala, National Orchestra Santa Cecilia (Rome), RAI in Turin, Lithuanian Symphony, Stuttgarter Philharmonics, Prague Chamber Orchestra and has performed with renowned conductors such as Andris Nelsons, Krystof Penderecky, Andrès Orozco-Estrada, Gábor Takács-Nagy and Alain Lombard.

Mr. Visser, a civil servant, is looking for Mr. Markgraaf, director of the A.B.A.V.B.-I.O.G.H.M. He needs his signature on a green purchase order so that he can requisite 50 litres eggshell paint. For him to be allowed to enter the spa “Die Sonneblom”, where Mr Markgraaf is taking a much needed rest-cure, he pretends to be the husband of the very famous trekker driver Klara Theron. At the same time Mrs. Du Plooy, the wife of the very well-known Professor De Kock, is also looking for Mr Markgraaf. She is in love with him and is very sure that he has the same feelings for her. She follows him to the spa in order to inform him that her husband knows of their affair and are on his way to the spa. When Klara, her husband Karel and the Prof. De Kock arrive at the spa, all hell breaks loose.

“Waar is Markgraaf?”is wonderful comedy full of misunderstandings, mistaken identities, crazy characters and loads of action. Original translation by Mariechen Naudè, directed by Thys Heydenrych (Onnies en Ouers). “Waar is Markgraaf?”is performed in the Wynand Mouton Theatre, 16 - 18 May at 19h30.
