David Kramer’s new musical Orpheus McAdoo will be presented by Cape Town Opera at Artscape starting today (18 October). The highly anticipated production is an exciting, fresh take on Kramer’s hugely successful Orpheus in Africa that premiered in Cape Town in 2015. 

Orpheus McAdoo marks an exciting first-time collaboration between the Cape Town Opera Company and the legendary David Kramer. His music, inspired by early spirituals, minstrel songs, ragtime, ballads and opera, includes several new songs by Kramer who also directs the show. 

Kramer joined Brandon Leigh on The Flash Drive to talk about this new production.

Orpheus McAdoo runs at Artscape from 18 October to 4 November 2024. Tickets from R200  to R450 can be purchased through Webtickets and Artscape Dial-A-Seat on 0214217695. Discounts are available for groups, students and pensioners.
