Cape Town’s Baxter Theatre
or visitors traveling to Cape Town, South Africa, hotels are abundant, and there’s no shortage of choices for accommodations. Our hotels, however, offer luxury with a difference. With extreme attention to detail, guests will find themselves living in the lap of luxury, enjoying all the finest things that world-class hotels can possibly offer. The rooms are spacious and exquisite, and the hotels themselves are extremely diverse in terms of architectural styles and design. Hotel dining has never been finer, with fare offered up under the direction of top chefs, serving national and international cuisines. There is also a heady combination of hospitality and connectivity, to keep you comfortable and well-connected to the world at large. It is a perfect way to spend a getaway, enjoying all that South Africa has to offer, in a setting that is rejuvenating and enriching.
Cape Town is one of the most beautiful places on the planet, as well as one of the most culturally vibrant. The long and complicated history of the place draws artists and intellectuals from all over the world, coming to make connections and works of art in the heart of South Africa. One place with its share of history is the Baxter Theatre Center. As part of the University of Cape Town, the Baxter has had academic freedom to show innovative and intriguing works of live performance since the 1977, and is a long-standing tradition for the culturally-inclined citizens. Under the apartheid era, it was one of the unique places in Cape Town where works of political performance could be seen, discussing the more difficult issues of the day.
Today the Baxter Theatre continues to offer excellent works of live performance, from theatre to music. There is still the same interest and dedication to challenging works of alternative theatre, but one can also see performances of live classical music, African music, children’s theatre, works of opera and dance, and also participate in workshops for young people. The Baxter has three distinct buildings, and is one of the most visible venues in Cape Town. Their mission at the inception, and one that continues to this day, is to showcase excellence in South Africa’s performing arts, focusing on presenting the diversity of its people as reflected in artistic languages.
