I completely agree that if the sound is bad, then it destroys the enjoyment of the show. Let’s hope that between the venue and Joburg Ballet, they can sort this out before their next tour to Bloem.

I can understand that everyone’s trying to save money but if they’re not going to bother to have a symphony orchestra then get a proper sound system. The sound was terrible, very unprofessional. Such a big part of the ballet is about the music and if the music sounds awful then it is very difficult to enjoy the ballet. We love supporting the arts but if that is what we get it is not possible to give our support. We invited friends to the ballet in Bloem and it was embarrassing to have them there. Also, we went to see a professional show, not girls from a local dance school perform (after Act 1), again I understand why it’s done but it is not the time and place for it. A big thumbs-down to the music at Coppèlia and unfortunately as a result, the ballet.
