Young performers bring musical to life (July 10 until July 19)

THE Playhouse Opera will host the production of The Prince of Egypt, staged by the Young Performers Project (YPP), featuring more than 130 youngsters from 42 schools around Durban from Friday, July 10 until Sunday, July 19.

The musical is a stage adaptation of the 1998 DreamWorks film.

Their first show is a special relaxed performance on July 10 at 11:00 where theatre etiquette guidelines are relaxed and the performance is consciously calmed, where the auditorium lights are dimmed, but not dark, and the audience meet the characters ahead of time.

• Saturday, July 11 (Shows are 11:00 and 14.30).
