THIS WEEKEND
OFF TO THE BALLET
Treat yourself to one of the most spectacular of the grand classical ballets. The Joburg Theatre will be staging from 13-21 March, with guest performances by Royal Ballet stars Marianela Nuñez and Vadim Muntagirov on Friday, 20 March at 7.30pm and Sunday, 22 March at 3pm. Other performances will feature Joburg Ballet’s leading dancers. Apart from Minkus’s wonderful score, the work is a showcase of ballet at its most flamboyant, most technically challenging and most exuberant. Set in Barcelona, Spain, it centres on beautiful, audacious Kitri and her love for a winsome, but poor barber. Her disapproving father tries to marry her off to a wealthy fop instead, but love conquers all. Tickets start at R110 from , or selected Pick n Pay
