 === Dissoloution (1994-1999) ===
-In 1994, government policy changed dramatically. All performing arts boards were transformed to managers of playhouses and the various arts companies had to become independent. CAPAB Drama staged its last production in May 1997 with a final performance of [[David Mowat]]’s ''[[The Guise]]'', a play which has as its theme the survival of the theatre.
+In 1994, government policy changed dramatically. All performing arts boards were transformed to managers of playhouses and the various arts companies had to become independent. The various Capab companies, opera, ballet, the orchestra, [[Jazzart]], the [[PE Opera House]] and East London's [[Guild Theatre]], were all to become independent, self-funding entities, each with its own management and governing board. CAPAB Drama staged its last production in May 1997 with a final performance of [[David Mowat]]’s ''[[The Guise]]'', a play which has as its theme the survival of the theatre.
 The new organization,  [[Artscape]],  was launched on 27 March 1999 to replace '''CAPAB''' and the [[Nico Malan Theatre Centre]] was renamed the [[Artscape|Artscape Theatre Centre]].

 The inaugural performance was scheduled to have been Giuseppe Verdi's ''[[Aïda]]'', but the leading singer [[Emma Renzi]] fell ill, so the production was replaced by [[CAPAB Ballet]]'s ''[[Sylvia]]''. ''[[Christine]]'',  a commissioned work by the [[Afrikaans]] playwright [[Bartho Smit]], was to have been the Afrikaans Company's contribution, but the play was banned,  so [[Dieter Reible]]'s experimental and controversial [[Afrikaans]] production of ''[[Koning Lear]]'' was staged instead. Other productions in the opening season were Jean Anouilh's ''[[Dear Antoine]]'',  Mozart's ''[[Die Zauberflöte]]'' in [[Afrikaans]] and Giacomo Puccini's ''[[Madama Butterfly]]''.
