ACCLAIMED tenor Jannie Moolman will perform a new show called 4x4 No Tracks, encompassing a wide range of music from Neopolitan classics, Afrikaans ballads to ever-popular opera arias, at the Oude Libertas Amphitheatre from 13 to 15 January.

As the title suggests, 4x4 No Tracks aims to offer off the beaten track interpretations of much loved Neopolitan classics - this also means no backing tracks, but pure live onstage talent.

This includes a tango-driven O Solo Mio with a song repertoire ranging from standard light classics to Koos du Plessis and Josh Groban.

Tunes sure to linger are the poignant theme from Schindler's List and the memorable tango from Scent Of A Woman. Other important highlights include two of Astor Piazzolla's compositions, Libertango and Oblivion.

Moolman is accompanied by talented musicians, Deveroux van der Hooven on piano, Annaka de Villiers on the electric and classic violin with award-winning Juan Oosthuizen on guitar.

4x4 No Tracks will be performed for the first time ever in the Cape. For bookings and information call the Oude Libertas Amphitheatre on 809-7380. For information visit www. oude libertas.co.za.

THE Cape Town City Ballet presents Swan Lake act 2 & Summer Waltzes at the Maynardville open-air theatre from 23 January to 20 February (Sundays only).

This programme features act 2 of one of the best loved ballets of all time, Swan Lake.

CTCB's Senior Principle Ballerina Tracy Li and partner Daniel Rajna dance the roles of the White Swan, Odette and Prince Siegfried.

Act 2 Swan Lake will be followed by some of the best loved waltzes from ballets which include Coppelia, The Sleeping Beauty and The Nutcracker.

Veronica Paepers hugely popular The Emperor Waltz, first choreographed in 1986 on Clare Shepard-Wilson, Keith Mackintosh, Janet Lindup and Allison Foat makes a come back.

This waltz will be performed along with the much loved Waltz of the Flowers from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker.

Also being performed are David Poole's Sleeping Beauty, The Fiancees from Swan Lake, Cecily Robinsons Waltz of the Hours from Coppelia and Norman Furber's popular Raymonda, Waltz and pas de deux.

These performances are traditionally very popular and sell out very quickly, so book well in advance. To do so call Computicket or Artscape Dial-a-seat on 421-7695.
