		+	In 1988 CAPAB started a choral collaboration project with schools in the townships. They negotiated with the headmasters of a number of schools who allowed CAPAB to visit their schools. The agreement was that the staff at the township school would not prevent them from doing opera programmes, but they would also not encourage them or protect them in the event of an attack.

	In the early 1990s, [[Angelo Gobbato]] went into townships across South Africa and auditioned singers for CAPAB’s Choral Training Programme, in which specifically young black voices would be trained while they had the opportunity to sing in the opera chorus in productions.
