South Africa

Established in 1999, Cape Town Opera stands as the sole permanently active opera company on the African
continent. Winner of two International Opera Awards, in 2013 for Chorus of the Year and 2022 for Equal
Opportunities and Impact, the Company takes pride in promoting both South Africa and the operatic art form
internationally and keenly fosters collaborations with arts organisations and artists worldwide. As one of the largest
performing arts institutions in South Africa, and serving as a shining example of the best that South Africa has to
offer, Cape Town Opera dedicates itself to excellence, inclusivity and employment within the arts, and is a cornerstone
of the South African performing arts community.
