Show Boat is a musical of the old American South, rich with nostalgia, humour, love stories and well-loved melodies such as Ol’ Man River and Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man. It is a natural fit for the talented voices of Cape Town Opera.
The combination of the Voice?of the Nation Ensemble’s gutsy rendition of Ol’ Man River, the witty and glamorous production, the over one hundred period costumes and the stylish set has made Cape Town Opera’s production a winner wherever?it tours.
