Following last year's sold-out performance, Selim Kagee returns to the Drostdy Theatre with IL MONDO – Encore, featuring new songs alongside audience favourites. Experience an unforgettable afternoon of timeless music as Selim Kagee's rich, expressive voice brings beloved classics to life in an intimate concert filled with warmth, nostalgia and storytelling.
Selim Kagee's journey into music did not begin with early success. Rejected from his school choir and unsuccessful in securing roles in community theatre, a professional singing career once seemed unlikely. Everything changed at the age of 20 when a chance meeting with a retired opera singer revealed the potential in his voice and inspired him to pursue formal training.
More than a decade of intensive study in the classical Bel Canto tradition laid the foundation for a career that has taken him from local theatre productions to international stages.
Today, Kagee performs for audiences across Europe, North America, Australia and beyond as a headline entertainer aboard leading ultra-luxury cruise lines.
Career highlights include a recording collaboration with Grammy-nominated Celtic Woman, a recording contract with EMI Records, performances of national anthems for internationally televised rugby internationals involving South Africa, Wales and New Zealand, and a sold-out run of his Il Mondo concert production at Pieter Toerien's Montecasino in Johannesburg.
The programme features timeless favourites including Il Mondo, Always On My Mind and The Wonder of You with some new surprises, woven together with personal stories from his international career and musical journey.
Accompanied by Winston Siljeur on piano, Marlon Green on drums and guest violinist Catherine Smith, and enhanced by beautiful orchestral arrangements, Il Mondo blends classical vocal artistry with the warmth and familiarity of timeless popular songs.
Audiences consistently describe the experience as deeply moving and unforgettable:
"Our group of 11 were blown away by this voice."
"I had a tear in my eye. A wonderful and memorable experience..."
"What a lovely show! It was first-class entertainment."
"I never want to miss a show again."
"A world-class show! So lucky to experience your show in Cape Town."
This intimate matinee performance at the Drostdy Theatre offers a rare opportunity to experience Selim Kagee up close in a setting created for connection, storytelling and timeless music.
