During May we were delighted to be able to invite alumni in Frankfurt to see two UCT Opera school alumni perform at Opera Studio Soiree at the Frankfurt Opera.  

Nombulelo Yende (soprano) and Sakhiwe Mkosana (baritone) are based in Frankfurt and performing in the 2023/4 season.  Frankfurt Opera has been recognized as one of Germany's top opera houses, voted "Opera House of the Year" multiple times by the German publication Opernwelt most recently in 2020, 2022, and 2023.  Nombulelo and Sakhiwe’s work for one of Europe’s leading opera houses is testament to the quality of our opera school graduates.  

Following the captivating performance, attendees had the unique opportunity to engage with Nombulelo Yende, as well as with Sarah Archer, and Andrew Wigley from the Development and Alumni Department, at an intimate networking dinner.
