Dimpho di Kompane is South African multiracial opera company.
In 1999, Charles Hazlewood and Mark Dornford-May were invited to create a new opera company in Cape Town. After auditioning in the townships and villages of South Africa, the mostly black lyric-theatre company DDK (Dimpho di Kopane – Sotho for “combined talents”) was formed. Of the 40 members, only three had professional training as opera singers.
In January 2001, the company made its debut with Bizet’s Carmen (as U-Carmen) at the Spier Amphitheatre, Stellenbosch. They later also co-produced the film version, U-Carmen eKhayelitsha (as Spier Films).
