"... 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. Amongst her numerous top awards the following deserve special mention: the Solti Foundation Award, XVII Venice Prize, Finalist and Worldwide Audience Award at the 2009 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, 1st Prize Top of the World International Piano Competition 2009 and the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition in 2005.

Kalla is a “sales lady” who recently moved from Johannesburg to start her new business in Hopetown. Her plan is to invite the other ladies from the town to a tea party and then, in a very subtle manner, tell them about her new business venture! Kalla’s domestic worker Victoria, is armed with a sharp perception and ready to help, but unfortunately her big mouth often leads to bigger dilemmas. This is just the right recipe for a out of the ordinary girls night: Just pour a stiff drink and mix with spiked punch, whip in cork heels, curlers, Kurt Darren hits, tipsy tart, a secretive briefcase, a stiff bun, odd visitor and straps of seduction, lastly present this with unravelling secrets, chilly sarcasm, red hot arguments and a good dose of, laugh-till-you-drop- cake-and-tea-comedy!
Victoria’s secret is a brand new comedy for women presented by the third year UV Drama Department students and written by Ilne Fourie (Impi and Impi 2- Wat ‘n fees!). Dr. Pieter Venter (Dis ek Anna, Impi, Impi 2 – wat ‘n fees!) directs the play and once again this sound partnership promises to have you rolling in your seat with laughter. The production is performed in the Scaena, so please drop in, because for serious matters we only belief in PUNCH for LUNCH! A must see for young and old!
