SEDIBENG'S FIRST OPERA

PIRATES OF PENZANCE

Sedibeng set a trend in 2008 by performing an opera which was a first for Botswana's local choirs. None of our local choirs has yet put up an opera in Botswana. Pirates of Penzance was a lot of work but the group did a great job, with our very own Ralph Dennison(also President of the choir)doing the choreography. Oteng Zachariah (also the choir's accountant) was cast as The major general. Tshenolo Segokgo (Currently studying music in France) was cast as Mabel.With months of work work work. Sedibeng finally put up the show first for schools represented by their school choirs. The other shows were for the general public. Sedibeng was accompanied by David Slater and Celine Matthee and a small orchestra made up of Maruapula school students.
