Royal Countess Zingara

Step into a world where theatre, performance art and cuisine intertwine in a dazzling spectacle as this sensory affair makes its way from Cape Town to Joburg.

This season, The Royal Countess Zingara presents La Dolce Royal at Melrose Arch, a sweet offering to South Africa and the world, a tribute to where she began, and a celebration of all she has become.

Conceptualised by visionary Richard Griffin, La Dolce Royal is directed by Craig Leo and executed by an extraordinary team that have created a splendid universe where magic collides with vibrant imagination in a velvet, mirrored Spiegeltent.

Guided by a Timekeeper, guests journey through acts of wonder, music and song, spectacle and daring. Among the world-class artists performing will be former Cirque du Soleil aerial cradle specialists Juan Pablo Palacios and Victoria Perez Iacono from Argentina, rola bola balancing marvel Axel Perez from Las Vegas, acrobat Samantha Kotze from Johannesburg, and The Clorettes, a vocal quartet from Cape Town.

During the show, guests are treated to a scrumptious four-course dinner, each seamlessly choreographed into the rhythm of the evening’s performance, creating an overall experience for palate and soul.

La Dolce Royal is a love letter to the human spirit and a reminder to hold fast to beauty, to hope, and to one another.
