Working with talented singers is always breath-taking, I learnt a lot from them. I was fortunate to be given a chance to perform which brought exciting feedback from my directors. I am currently working on my next role of Dunlop in Sarah Baartman\u2019s opera by Hendrik Hofmeyr which will be performed around August or September,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that Dlamini is one of the very few local singers who were once part of the African\u2019s premier opera company, Cape Town Opera.<\/p>\n<p>The company seeks to inspire, entertain and develop audiences through its acclaimed stage production.<\/p>\n<p>It is the forefront of transformation in the performing arts and is regarded as a key player in providing training and job opportunities to artists, arts administrators and contractors from previously disadvantaged communities.<\/p>\n<p>Dlamini shared that he was planning on participating in more opera shows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCape Town is the home of opera and I am planning on empowering myself and hoisting the country\u2019s flag. My vision is to give back to Emaswati by sharing my knowledge and skills,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In a post shared by one of the curators of the show Brittany Smith, she thanked the singers and shared that Dlamini was talented.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to say thank you for the colour that your characters brought to the show. \u201cIt was absolutely amazing doing this run with you,\u201d it read.<\/p>\n<p>Public Relations Officer of Eswatini National Choral Music Association, Bandile \u2018Mzambiya\u2019 Maphalala expressed his excitement and congratulated Dlamini.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEswatini is indeed a home of true talent. Dlamini\u2019s achievements continue to make us proud; he is actually putting the country on the map. He is one of the artists we are proud to call our own and he is an inspiration to other upcoming singers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Dlamini is not the first Liswati to hoist the country\u2019s flag; Thando Zwane has also graced international stages as he once performed in Italy and France.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/eswatini\">Eswatini<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Eswatini.
