What an outstanding and refreshing view of this opera! By the way, I've always longed to hear a Bantu language in opera. They always sound very musical and full of vowels and open syllables, perfect for lyric singing. ;-)
Pauline opened this beautiful Xhosa version at Spier wine Estate about 20y ago. Had the great honour to be present. A fantastic creation made possible thanks to the generosity and philantropy of our late friend Honourable Dick Enthoven (Hollard).May his soul rest in eternal peace. Thanks having done so much for performing art and any form of art in South Africa and world-wide. 🙏❤. You launched Pauline - look where Shee is now ! Fantastic. Proudly African. We now need a Xhosa version of the Messiah. It already exists in ZULU !

SA has amazing talent, right there in the CTN shacks and cape flats. Beautiful to see all this amazing talented musicians. I wish I had a soft copy I can watch it wherever I wana watch it. Great work 👌🏾
I remember when I watched this when I was young. She was beautiful and curvy and had a strong personality. But it was her beauty that killed her in the end. Her crime was being beautiful
+flaviawk It's a movie called U-Carmen eKhayelitsha. The movie is a modern remake of Bizet's 1875 opera Carmen. It was shot entirely in Xhosa, and combines both music from the original opera with traditional African music conducted and directed by the British conductor, Charles Hazlewood. It takes place in the Cape Town township of Khayelitsha. U-Carmen was translated into Xhosa by Andiswa Kedama and Pauline Malefane, who also play Amanda and Carmen in the movie, respectively.
