A great little venue which promises to be the permanent home of all things musical and cabaret got off to a cracking start with an incredibly high-energy take of the classic musical.

Those who know of and love Beckett’s body of work will relish this 21st century incarnation of one of his radio plays.

Winners of the 2013 International Opera Awards ‘Chorus of the Year’, Cape Town Opera’s Voice of the Nation Ensemble wowed the Perth Concert Hall audience in their sold out PIAF 2014 show.
