VOICED: Is this a baboon I see before me?

Alexander McCall Smith has adapted Macbeth into a musical set in Botswana, featuring baboons to reflect the play's themes. Inspired by Botswana, where he set his Ladies Detective Agency series, McCall Smith funded the creation of the country's first Opera House. This venue offers local singers new opportunities and aims to inspire homegrown African operas.

In what way does McCall Smith's production aim to give back to the community?

What hopes does McCall Smith have for Botswana's musicians and composers regarding the new facility?
