Midsummer Valentine's concert for Charity in Cape Town

Enjoy a remarkable Valentine opera performance in the gardens of the Main House at De Grendel Estate in Plattekloof


Pack your picnic basket, uncork your bubbly and share a romantic evening of musical brilliance at the Midsummer Melodies concert.

The internationally acclaimed Cape Town Opera will be performing together with the talented young voices of the Hout Bay Music Project, under the musical direction of celebrated local songstress Aviva Pelham.

The Midsummer Melodies concert is being held to raise awareness for the Montrose Foundation and its two main initiatives for this year; the Montrose Equine ‘Youth at Risk’ Program and the ‘Find Help Find Hope’ awareness campaign. The aim is also to recognize the plight of addiction amongst poorer communities in South Africa, which is linked to the break-up of communities, families, and homes.

Tickets are R300 per person, and with every two tickets purchased guests will receive a complimentary bottle of De Grendel bubbly and Lindt chocolates.

There is also the option to pre-order a picnic basket for an additional cost of R114 per person, and there will be De Grendel wine, mineral water and gourmet pizzas for sale. Guests also stand a chance to win prizes from Mont Blanc and PUMA.

This time of the year the air is filled with young love and what better way to have a share in that than by getting some tips from our Things to do for Valentine’s Day in Cape Town.
