Queen at the Opera
After two incredible shows in 2024 and by popular demand, Joseph Clark returns to the Opera Theatre stage, his artistic home as a ballet dancer, actor and singer, and where his legendary journey began with “Queen at the Opera”.
This year’s concerts promise an even more powerful experience, featuring local choirs performing some of Queen’s most iconic songs.
Joined by lead guitarist Axe Lourens, Clark delivers an extensive repertoire of Queen classics, including “Somebody To Love”, “Another One Bites The Dust” and “Under Pressure”.
Clark has captivated audiences across South Africa and internationally, with standout performances throughout Europe, the Middle East, the United States and across Africa, including a highlight performance in a packed 30,000-seat Gelredome stadium.
“I’m not a believer in impersonating great artists, but in giving audiences a taste of their music as a tribute to their genius. I aim to create an atmosphere of magic; nostalgia for some, and a new discovery for others,” reflected Clark during an interview with the “Daily News”.
Where: Playhouse Opera Theatre.
When: Friday to August 2.
