We heard last week that Cape Town Opera has appointed a new artistic director – and it’s a stellar choice, in the form of a local soprano who has sung around the world and shared the stage with everyone from Arno Carstens and Boney M to international opera stars. 

Magdalene Minaar did her initial musical training at UCT’s South African College of Music, before joining Cape Town Opera Studio and later furthered her studies at the New York Opera Studio.  She has earned a reputation not only as a stellar performer who can move between diverse genres with ease but also as a director and producer who continuously challenges convention. 

She joined Pippa on the line.

In today's music segment, we feature the sounds of Nicholas Joubert. The 25 year old is a newcomer in the music and entertainment world, having recently released his debut track. Nicholas grew up in a family that loved music, with the radio or some song always blaring out of the speakers.

Despite that, nobody seemed to understand his passion and desire to pursue a career as a entertainer and recording artist. Well, today he is a recording artist, having released his debut track called "Someone New", which he also wrote. It's the first song he wrote. It's an upbeat pop song based on real life experiences of a break up.
