</div>
<div>
<p><span style="font-family:AvenirNextCondensed-Regular">Following a triumphant season in Cape Town, bookings are now open for The Royal Countess Zingara, soon to be transporting her enchantment to the City of Gold with <i> La Dolce Royal.</i> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:AvenirNextCondensed-Regular">The production will unfold at the elegant Melrose Arch in Johannesburg from 20 June 2026, ushering in a dazzling new chapter for her Highveld audiences.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:AvenirNextCondensed-Regular">After an absence of more than a decade, the fabled Countess Zingara dinner-cirque spectacle opened last October in the Mother City to effusive reviews and capacity houses. It’s now time to bewitch Johannesburg
Zingarians once again, with performances delivered with skill and aplomb by an outstanding South African and international cast.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:AvenirNextCondensed-Regular">Conceptualised by visionary Richard Griffin, <i>La Dolce Royal</i> is directed by Craig Leo and executed by an extraordinary team that have created a splendid universe where Zingara’s cherished magic
collides with vibrant imagination in a mirrored Spiegeltent.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:AvenirNextCondensed-Regular">“In a world unravelling at the edges, <i>La Dolce Royal</i> is our poetic reply,” says co-Director Valentina Leo. “It is a love letter to the human spirit and a reminder to hold fast to beauty, to hope
and to one another."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:AvenirNextCondensed-Regular">Guided by a Timekeeper and welcomed by the Weeping Woman whose sorrow yields to elation, guests journey through acts of wonder, music and song, spectacle and daring. Among the world-class artists preforming
at Melrose Arch will be former Cirque du Soleil aerial cradle specialists Juan Pablo Palacios and Victoria Perez Iacono from Argentina, Rola Bola balancing marvel Axel Perez from Las Vegas, acrobat Samantha Kotze from Johannesburg and singing sensations Megan
Spencer and The Clorettes from Cape Town, among many others.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:AvenirNextCondensed-Regular">Located just off the Corlett Drive off-ramp and with direct access to the M1 Highway, Melrose Arch is easily reachable from all major routes. With ample, secure basement parking and 24-hour security,
visitors and tenants enjoy both convenience and peace of mind in a sophisticated, pedestrian-friendly setting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:AvenirNextCondensed-Regular">“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome the Royal Countess Zingara back,” says Natalie Stewart, Managing Director of Melrose Arch. “This unique production brings creativity, vibrancy and a fresh entertainment
experience to Johannesburg, and Melrose Arch is perfectly suited to host a production of this scale. We look forward to a collaboration that adds a bold new layer to the precinct’s experiential offering.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><i><span style="font-family:AvenirNextCondensed-Regular">La Dolce Royal</span></i><span style="font-family:AvenirNextCondensed-Regular"> at the Arch Pavilion at Melrose Arch runs Tuesdays to Sundays from 20 June 2026. Guests may enjoy direct access to the
