Under an African sky, the FNB Starlight Pop Opera was held in August at Chris Saunders Park, Umhlanga in KwaZulu Natal. Beautiful sounds from the KZN Philharmonic Orchestra and soft washes of colour brought the stage dome to life. Chandeliers helped create an extravagant atmosphere as memories were made with Ronan Keating as special guest performer.
