Donizetti must be smiling at the way his opera, Viva la Mamma, is turning out. This opera takes one to a new level of fun, laughter, brilliant singing and acting. It’s an all-round theatrical experience, a non-stop laugh with additions and surprises as the cast of nine singers are faced with the realities of artistic life: no money. To a point, it mirrors life! It’s presented by the Richard Wagner Society in the Suidoosterfees with the Cape Philharmonic and Kamal Khan. Lara Bye directs her fourth opera.

‘n Ruk na Ma Grieta op die wit laken gaan lê het, haar siel aan God gegee het en die res van haar “aan mense wat dit nodig het”, het Jaypee in 2002 begin om elke jaar ‘n brief aan sy Ma op haar verjaarsdag in Die Burger se doodsberigte te plaas: “Vandag is Ma 95. Dankie, Ma, dat Ma my grootgemaak het of ek heeltemal normaal is en nooit “odd” laat voel het nie. Deon Chang sê op ‘n Woolworths poster “it’s a privilege to be different”. (Die Burger; 11 Okt 2004.) Die vertoning is ‘n menslike verhaal met lewensgetroue humoristiese momente wat jou sal laat huil van die lag, net om kort daarna weer ‘n hartseer traan weg te pik. “Oprah Winfrey sê ‘n kind kies sy ouers. As ek alles in die lewe verkeerd gedoen het, het ek ten minste een ding reggedoen en dit was om Ma te kies. Bye Ma, Jaypee.”

OLD MUTUAL SUMMER SUNSET CONCERTS AT KIRSTENBOSCH show off the best in South African entertainment. “…at its best the city offers a relaxed blend of African ethnicity and culture – and nowhere does that harmony look, or sound, better than at the summer concerts at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden”. – Time Magazine, 19 November 2007 19 February Taxi Violence /Machineri Since getting together over a jam session at a military base, Taxi Violence have gone on to stake their rightful claim as one of South Africa’s most prized independent rock acts, rocking crowds, winning awards and gathering a legion of ardent followers wherever their music is heard. With an attitude towards their music that shuns conventional record industry practices, the band have managed to single-handedly, and independently, achieve in a few years what a lot of bands don’t achieve in a lifetime, whilst still retaining their artistic freedom and integrity. Machineri was formed in 2008 by Sannie Fox and Andre Geldenhuys. The band is a 3 piece consisting of two American Fender Stratocasters (Sannie and Andre), Drum (Daniel Huxham) and Lead Vocal (Sannie).The sound is predominantly Blues-Rock. Sannie writes the songs and lyrics and borrows as much from literature and poetry as from real life and politics. Prices: Adults : R80 Youth (6 - 21yrs) with ID : R55 Botanical Society Members with card : R70 The Old Mutual Summer Sunset Concerts take place at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden (Rhodes Avenue, Newlands, Cape Town) on Sundays from 17h00 – 19h00.

During the months of February and March, De Krans Wine Cellar, situated in the quaint little town of Calitzdorp alongside the well known Route 62, will once again offer visitors to the area the opportunity to pick deliciously sweet Hanepoot grapes. This fun-filled picking experience will take place from 8 February to 3 March 2012, and will be made available every day (except Sundays) from 08h00 until 16h00. Grapes cost R4.90/kg and visitors are welcome to bring their own containers. Alternatively containers can be purchased at De Krans at a minimal cost.

As these meals have proven to be extremely popular in the past, booking is essential. Besides picking their own grapes, a visit to this award-winning cellar also affords visitors the opportunity to sample, at no extra cost, their range of 2011 award-winning wines. One of these being the De Krans Cape Tawny Port, a double gold medal winner at the 2011 Michelangelo International Wine Awards, Champion Private Wine Cellar at the 2011 SA Young Wine Show and more recently received a 5-star rating in the 2012 Platter's South African Wine Guide for the De Krans 2009 Cape Vintage Reserve Port.

GOOD NIGHT, A PROVACTIVE ART EXHBITION EXPLORING THE POWER AND FRAGILITY OF WOMEN Established South African artist, Heike Davies, will hold her first solo exhibition since 2005, at the Barnard Gallery from the 2nd of February 2012. The exhibition entitled “Good-Night”, will feature bold figurative mixed media paintings that explore the power of female sexuality. This powerful exhibition of 30 paintings, explores the contradictory perceptions of women as objects of desire, abuse and fear. “The work talks about female sexuality, as one of the most powerful forces, yet it is the very thing that renders women completely vulnerable,” says Davies. The emotive work combines elements from traditional portraiture with something that is more uncomfortable and raw. Her subjects, a pantheon of women, some taken from commercial mass media images, others are women from the sex industry, and some are friends. The differences between them are blurred and merged; it is difficult to tell which are prostitutes, fashion models, friends or porn stars. On the canvases the subjects merge into a nameless, faceless confrontation, they are all portrayed as women in a way that is fragile yet fierce in their strength. The works juxtapose vulnerability and assertion. Many of the subjects shut their eyes in escape from the viewers prying eyes, to evade the questions, judgments, yet somehow they are all very present. Yet, others are painted in a formal frontal perspective and challenge the viewer directly with their very direct confrontational gazes. Yet all somehow manage to present themselves naked before you, vulnerable, defiant and beautiful. This work portrays women in unadulterated honesty, contrasting virtue with a common and underlying primal sense of allure. The over-riding feeling of the works is beauty – and the complexity that surrounds beauty – the blessing and the curse of being female. “Heike’s latest body of work is a both powerful and thought provoking, a must view for those looking to be inspired, “ concludes Chris Barnard, owner of the Barnard Gallery. The exhibition will open on the 2nd of February 2012 and run until of 7th of March 2012. Visit www.barnardgallery.com for more information or email info@barnardgallery.com to receive regular updates about the exhibition. About the Artist: Davies, was born in 1976, has a BA degree in Fine Art from the Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town, in 2000. During her studies she was awarded the Maciver Scholarship (1999 and 2000) and was placed on the Dean’s Merit List (1999 and 2000. Her work is represented in the public and corporate art collections of: SANG, Pretoria Art Museum, Sanlam, Sandton

Six of the Best A Tribute to Freddie Mercury, Bon Jovi, Meat Loaf, Billy Joel, Cher & Pink The Barnyard Theatre Productions presents a tribute to surpass all tributes, as we celebrate the music of the 6 greatest pop icons of all time. Imagine a concert featuring Freddie Mercury, Bon Jovi, Meat Loaf, Billy Joel, Pink and Cher all on one stage in one show singing number one hits from the last four decades of pop music. These artists have dominated the charts to such a degree and made such an impact on the music industry that it is essential to stage a special tribute! The show features an 11- piece cast who make their way through a repertoire that was made in Rock and Roll Heaven. Just imagine Meat Loaf challenging the vocal ability of Freddie who in turn has to compete with Bon Jovi! Then we have the power and beauty of Pink, and the soulfulness of Billy, and of course let’s not forget the flamboyance and decadence of Cher! Six of the Best is about showmanship and charisma and the music all comes together in one big concert that will simply blow your mind!

The Cape Peninsula Organisation for the Aged is hosting a Charity Golf Day at the Rondebosch  Golf Course on Friday 23rd of March 2012 for the benefit of our six sub-economic homes. CPOA as a non-profit Organisation for the aged based in Cape Town, has recognised that the plight of indigent older persons living in South Africa is very real and has faithfully accepted the challenge to care for older persons for the past 57 years through community based services and homes for the frail older person.  At present CPOA houses approx. 500 indigent older persons and renders services to another 2000 community based older persons by means of our senior centres and home help projects. The need to recognise that all older persons have contributed to the development of South Africa, albeit some in small ways, should be a challenge to both the corporate world and communities to offer their support in whichever way possible.  It is also a well-known phenomenon that populations are living longer and are increasingly more dependent on care. Our appeal to you is to support us in making this a memorable day. Please complete the attached Golf Schedule and Help us care to continue to make a difference in the lives of older persons in our care. Although we are fully aware that your company is inundated with requests, we anticipate that you will favourably consider our appeal. Should you be unable to enter a FOURBALL or sponsor a WET HOLE, we will gladly accept and ACKNOWLEDGE any DONATION or PRIZES towards this FUNDRAISING event.  You would, of course, be welcome to send along brochures/flyers for display on the day. Thank you and kind regards. Hubert 079 503 1251
