Wales Millennium Centre and Cape Town Opera present the Mandela Trilogy at The Lowry next month.
Mandela Trilogy, written and directed by Michael Williams with music by Peter Louis van Dijk and Mike Campbell, is a musical tribute to the life of Nelson Mandela and had its European première at Wales Millennium Centre in 2012.
From tribal initiation rites on the banks of the Mbashe River through the heady and rebellious jazz-fuelled days in Sophiatown to incarceration and reflection on Robben Island and finally beyond, to freedom—it is the story of one of the world’s most iconic figures.
