Ballet dancer Elvis Sibeko from Mowbray was acknowledged with the Best Newcomer prize at the annual Friends of Cape Town City Ballet Awards that took place last Saturday, April 5, at the Vineyard Hotel in Newlands. Sibeko, recognised for his outstanding work in Cape Town City Ballet’s (CTCB) productions over the past year, was recently seen as Hilarion in CTCB’s sellout season of Giselle as well as in Dane Hurst’s powerful Requiem that formed part of the company’s acclaimed Summer Season programme at Artscape. Capetonians can look forward to seeing Sibeko in CTCB’s Swan Lake that opens at the Cape Town International Convention Centre for a limited season in July.
