Curtains up: Kultura Festival in Durbanville is a celebration of Afrikaans and the arts
The Kultura Festival in Durbanville marks a new chapter for Cape Town's northern suburbs as the region's first dedicated cultural event.
With seven top-tier performers and a series of events, the festival promises to bring the local community together in honour of the area's rich history, diverse heritage, and dynamic spirit.
Running from Friday, 20 June to Friday, 27 June, Curro Durbanville High School will come alive with music, storytelling, comedy, and culinary delights that celebrate the unique character of Cape Town's Northern suburbs.
The line-up has been carefully selected to offer something for every taste
South Africa's doyenne of theatre, Sandra Prinsloo, will open the festival on 20 June with her acclaimed one-woman show, 'Kamphoer – die verhaal van Susan Nell'.
This poignant performance explores the harrowing true story of Susan Nell, a survivor of the Anglo-Boer War. The play masterfully portrays trauma, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit.
The entertainment continues on Saturday, 21 June with a triple bill of laughter.
Kicking off the day is the much-loved Marion Holm in her new one-woman show 'Marion Monroe', blending sharp humour with heartfelt storytelling and a fresh cast of characters. This comedic gem unpacks themes of identity and self-perception.
Next up is Marc Lottering in 'Marc Eugene Lottering', as the comedian gives audiences a personal look into his life and heritage. He shares never-before-heard stories, including his childhood belief that his family were "blonde German-Caribbeans" - a hilariously misguided notion inspired by his mother.

Linda van Coppenhagen said classical music's power is real
'This kind of singing is my rebellion against artificial intelligence,' she said. Real music and vocals do not need autotune or a million processors to make them sound palatable. It is dynamite from the gut, and there is only one place where you really get that kind of effect. Classical music. Operatic arias. Singers who belt it all out with nothing between them and the audience but air and instinct. That is music in its natural state. The way Bach, Handel, Mozart and Beethoven meant it. When the voice was not decoration but an instrument. Soprano Linda van Coppenhagen has been an instrument of song in Europe for over a decade. There's no tech and gadgetry or engineered smoke and mirrors. Just powerful lungs, absolute control, physical endurance and emotion. She returned home in July for two shows in Joburg, including a Theatre on the Square appearance on Friday, 25 July. Her new album is titled Heimwee, which means 'homesickness' The album was recorded over several years and saw its genesis during lockdown in Germany, during the time of the pandemic. 'We were stuck inside. The world was strange. All I wanted was light, warmth, and something that reminded me of home,' Van Coppenhagen said. 'That is what this music became.' The album features both German and Afrikaans classical art songs. All performed and produced without technical wizardry. Real music. 'This kind of singing is my rebellion against artificial intelligence,' she said. 'There is no autotune. No hiding. If my voice glitches, it stays. If I miss a note, it stays. It is all part of the truth.' Classic music rules, ok? Van Coppenhagen grew up in Johannesburg, studied in Pretoria and Cape Town, and left to pursue her stage dreams in 2010 after winning the Musiqanto Classical Singing Competition. Since then, she has built a highly successful career in Germany, where opera is part of daily life. She couldn't pursue her career at home because the market and concomitant opportunities do not make for a sustainable career. This, despite her absolute love for her country of birth, which will always be home to her. Also Read: 'Roger Waters: The Wall' is an epic watch of powerful music It is the feeling of the music that keeps inspiring her. It's the storytelling, the universal themes still relevant after centuries, and the power of the sound. She shared how music was different hundreds of years ago, and even the pitch was somewhat different to what we know today. Baroque composers like Handel and Bach wrote their music to be performed at a lower pitch. What we now consider normal tuning is set at 443 hertz. But in their day, it was closer to 415 hertz. The difference may seem small, but she says it changes everything. 'It is warmer. Softer. When I sing Handel at 443, it feels rushed and unsettled. At 415, it settles in the body differently. The brain responds. The music feels like it belongs.' She compared it to playing Tetris. 'When the tuning is right, it all locks into place. The music becomes something real and whole. Something your body recognises.' No mics needed And it's all done without a PA system, a front-of-house desk and engineers. Instead, your whole body becomes an instrument, and the ability to project vocals into every corner of a theatre or arena is the challenge. It takes power, a lot of training and manual precision, she said. But also, vulnerability. 'You are naked up there. There is no reverb to carry you. You must carry yourself,' she said. 'But when the audience hears it the way it was meant to be heard, something changes. It becomes a connection, not just a performance.' Soul music still exists It's something that's gotten a bit lost in some modern music, but Van Coppenhagen said that music with soul still exists, across genres. Yet it is becoming harder to find. 'There was a time when pop stars were real musicians. Michael Jackson. Queen. They wrote their own songs. They played their instruments. What you saw on stage was what you heard,' she said. 'Now we are drowning in effects. Everything is polished and packaged, but the emotion is missing.' This is also why she said that perhaps classical music and the power of arias, for example, may make a comeback, especially because of the emotional punch it packs. 'Like books. Like vinyl. Maybe classical music is due for a comeback as people seek out more authenticity,' she said. Tickets for the Joburg shows at Theatre on the Square on 25 July are R100. The show starts at 1pm.

Iconic Bayeux Tapestry to be loaned to Britain
France will loan the 11th century Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum for 10 months from September 2026, the UK government and French President Emmanuel Macron announced Tuesday during his state visit to Britain. The loan of the embroidery depicting the 1066 Norman conquest of England will be made in exchange for ancient "treasures" mainly from the Anglo-Saxon Sutton Hoo site, one of England's most important archaeological sites. They will be loaned to museums in Caen and Rouen in northern France under the arrangement, two regional French newspapers Macron spoke to reported. The Tapestry's loan will mark the first time in nearly 1,000 years that the 68-metre-long (224-foot-long) piece, which dates from around 1077, will have been on British soil. The museum in the Normandy city of Bayeux that normally houses the tapestry is to close for two years for renovation from September 1. "By its symbolic, unprecedented nature, and the priceless value of the loaned pieces, this unprecedented exchange signifies the desire to revitalise the cultural relationship between our two countries and the trust that exists between us today," Macron told Ouest France newspaper. UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy called it "one of the most iconic pieces of art ever produced in the UK" as she welcomed the exchange. While its origins have been the subject of speculation, some studies indicate the tapestry was probably designed and made in England. "This loan is a symbol of our shared history with our friends in France, a relationship built over centuries and one that continues to endure," she said. "The British Museum is one of the world's most visited museums and is a fitting place to host this most treasured piece of our nation's history." Director of the British Museum Nicholas Cullinan said it was "hard to overstate the significance of this extraordinary opportunity of displaying it at the British Museum". "We are profoundly grateful to everyone involved," he added. "This is exactly the kind of international partnership that I want us to champion and take part in." - Cross-Channel exchange - The UK culture ministry noted the British Museum will loan the Sutton Hoo collection, the Lewis Chessmen and "other treasures" to France Macron said in his comments that would include the Battersea Shield, a metal cover believed to have once been attached to the front of a centuries-old wooden shield. The British Museum holds 82 out of 93 ancient Lewis chess pieces found buried on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. Meanwhile the Sutton Hoo collection comprises relics discovered by archaeologists in 1938 at Sutton Hoo in the English region Suffolk, where they unearthed an Anglo-Saxon cemetery. The finds were part of a seventh century Anglo-Saxon ship burial, and provide remarkable insights into England from a time before the Norman Conquest. The search for more treasure there continues to this day. The Bayeux Tapestry depicts the famed Battle of Hastings when William the Conqueror crossed from France to defeat English forces in southern England. The story of the 1066 military defeat, in which England's King Harold famously died after taking a French arrow in the eye, is still taught to British school children and is a founding moment in the long and bloody history of Anglo-French rivalry. The tapestry has been on display in various locations in France throughout its history, including most recently at the Bayeux Museum. It has been recently restored for the first time since 1870, after Paris and London announced in 2018 that it would be loaned to Britain. But the plan for the tapestry to cross the Channel for a mooted 2022 exhibition did not materialise, and there had been no recent update on when it would happen.
