Six of the Best (13–17
March)
The Barnyard Theatre Productions presents a tribute to
surpass all tributes, as we celebrate the music of the six
greatest pop icons of all time. Imagine a concert featuring
Freddie Mercury, Bon Jovi, Meat Loaf, Billy Joel, Pink and Cher all on
one stage in one show, singing number one hits from the last
four decades of pop music. These artists have
dominated the charts to such a degree and made such an impact
on the music industry that it is essential to stage a special
tribute!
The show features a repertoire that was
made in Rock and Roll Heaven. Just imagine Meat Loaf challenging the
vocal ability of Freddie who in turn has to compete with Bon
Jovi! Then we have the power and beauty of Pink, and the
soulfulness of Billy, and of course let's not forget the
flamboyance and decadence of Cher!
Six of the Best is about showmanship and
charisma and the music all comes together in one big concert
that will simply blow your mind! So get ready to
experience the hottest rock and pop stars on the planet in
one of the greatest Barnyard shows that makes them simply –
Six of the Best!
The show has not yet been seen in
Johannesburg so is a real first for Harare. The cast then returns to
Johannesburg to launch the Barnyard Theatre's brand new
theatre at Rivonia.
Early bird bookings (so you can get that favourite table) can
be made by emailing <mailto:boxoffice@dae.co.zw>.

These two outstanding series continue in March. "Frozen
Planet" begins at 7.00 and "Downton Abbey " at 8.15 after a short
interval.
Supper is available from 6.00 p.m. but must be booked in advance on 60684 / 67195

Orff: Carmina Burana
& Mahler: Symphony No.8 (2
March)
Friday 2 March in the Robert Sibson Hall at 6.30 p.m.
"Carmina Burana", by turns boisterous and lyrical, sets poems written
by medieval monks celebrating life’s pleasures, especially springtime,
food and drink, and love both ribald and tender. The
performance features Kathleen Battle and Sir Thomas Allen with an
outstanding Japanese choir and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
conducted by Seiji Ozawa. After the interval comes Mahler’s
Eighth Symphony in which Riccardo Chailly conducts massed forces (over
500 performers) at a concert which formed part of Leipzig’s centenary
International Mahler Festival.
Supper is available during the interval but must be booked in advance
on 60684 / 67195

Donizetti: Don
Pasquale (9 March)
Friday 9 March Donizetti: Don Pasquale, Robert Sibson
Hall at 6.30 p.m.
Don Pasquale was among the last of Donizetti's 66 operas and has been
described as "the ripest" of his comic operas. The plot
centres on an elderly bachelor who has decided to marry in order to
spite his nephew Ernesto but Norina, the wife chosen for him, happens
to be the woman Ernesto loves...
In this production from La Scala, Milan, "Riccardo Muti consistently
captures the fun of the piece whilst not neglecting the vein of
melancholy that also runs through it. Ferrucio Furlanetto
makes an outstanding Don Pasquale", Nuccia Focile, in her La Scala
debut, was described as "a delightful Norina with a fresh and agile
voice" and Gregory Kunde brought "a Mozartian elegance" to Ernesto's
music.
Supper available during the interval
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members]
Libor Novacek (piano)
(13 March)
Tuesday, 13 March Libor Novacek (piano) Robert Sibson
Hall at 7.30 p.m.

fourth visit in recent years. He has performed in North, South and
Central America, India, South Africa, Spain, France and Germany as well
as extensively in his homeland, the Czech Republic, and in England. His
recordings have been very well received and performances of Brahms and
Liszt in particular hailed as rivalling the very best already available
– and both composers feature in Libor's programme:
- Beethoven: Sonata No.3 in C major,
Op.2, No.3
- Brahms: Seven Fantasies,
Op.116
- Janáãek: On an Overgrown Path –
Book 2
- Liszt: Sonata in B minor

Tree Society of Zimbabwe
(March)
Saturday, 17 March: Briefing meeting for all Tree
society members who are visiting Catapú in Mozambique in April. Details
to follow.
Sunday, 18 March: Visit to Kutsaga.
We expect to find interesting trees with some well protected
habitat. Directions: Take the road to the airport and once
there fork left as if going to Manyame Air Base. Continue along this
road keeping a look out on the left for the large sign
"Tobacco Research Board" and turn through the gate. After a few hundred
metres look for a road to the right leading to the Recreation Centre -
there will be Tree Society signs. If you get to the big gate near the
admin block, you have gone too far. Follow the road to the recreation
building and we will park under the trees in the shade. Meet as usual
at 0930. Bring your lunch and a chair for an all-day outing.
Saturday, 24 March: Haka Game Park. This is a
small park adjoining Cleveland Dam. Directions: Take the Mutare Road
out past Jaggers. Turn first left after the "Danhiko" sign on the left,
which is also the Cleveland Dam turning. Follow the pine avenue with
humps to a sign "Haka" on the left and this track leads to the entrance
gate of the game park. We will meet at the Braai area just
through the gate. Time: 1430. Be prepared for an entrance fee
at the gate.
HERBARIUM FUMIGATION APPEAL
In September 2009 the Zimbabwe Tree Society launched an
appeal for funds to enable Zimbabwe's National Herbarium to be
fumigated. The response was highly gratifying and the funds raised
enabled us to carry out 4 fumigations at approximately 6 monthly
intervals. The cost of a single fumigation is US$ 350.
In the intervening period, the financial
position of the Herbarium has remained weak and it appears that further
support for continuing fumigation will be necessary. I am therefore
re-opening the request for funds and would ask everyone to consider
making a donation towards this important appeal, the purpose of which
is to prevent the important plant collections deteriorating through
insect damage.
This appeal is not in any way limited to Tree
Society members and I would ask you to spread the word to your friends
and any potential donors.
Donations can be made in cash to the Tree
Society Treasurer, Bill Clarke (0772-252720), to Terry Fallon
(04 481076), or to Isla
Grundy (04 745263; 0772-233751).
CLASSIFIEDS: ARTY THINGS WANTED OR FOR SALE
