An Opera Night at Savoy Cabbage
Tuesday 7th August at 7 pm.
Join us for an evening of fine food, wine and soaring song from the
singers of Cape Town Opera.
Savoy Cabbage reopens from lunchtime on 31st July, after its 3 week winter break.
Whilst everyone has been enjoying a good rest, Chef Peter Pankhurst has been
receiving some breathtaking culinary experiences at the top restaurants in
Washington DC. We look forward to you joining us in the next few weeks to see how
these new influences are incorporated into our daily menu. With a host of
celebrations to come in August you will have an even greater incentive to join us and
see what he has learnt.

The first of these August events sees the return of the highly successful Savoy
Cabbage Opera Evenings.
Cape Town Opera in collaboration with UCT Opera
School, are performing Puccini´s La Rondine at the Baxter Theatre 18-25th August.
Paris, The City of Love, is the setting for Giacomo Puccini's tragic-comic
masterpiece - La Rondine (The Swallow). At a cocktail party hosted by Magda de
Cirvy, the poet Prunier declares that love is in the air. The kept woman of the rich
aristocrat Rambaldo, Magda longs for true love. Her thirst for passion is satisfied
when she meets the dashing young Ruggero and she spreads her romantic wings.
Keeping the details of her relationship with Rambaldo hidden, she flees with her new
lover to a seaside cottage. They say a swallow always returns home, and Magda is no
exception. Lamenting that she "can be a lover, but never a wife", Magda reveals her
deception to a heartbroken Ruggero and flutters home to her loveless life of privilege
and despair.
