Een van die vele hoogtepunte was toe die jazz-legende David Cou sins saam met haar op die verhoog ver- skyn het. Zita Goes Classics sal van vroeg 2017 regoor Suid-Afrika aange- bied word. Haar vertoning sluit in verwerkings van klassieke meesters soos Schubart. Sy is ook bedrewe in meer as een instrument, wat klavier insluit. Sy is ’n lid van die Gauteng opera-ensemble, waar sy gereeld aan ’n verskeidenheid opera-uitvoerings deelneem. Haar repertoire sluit in Andrew Lloyd-Webber se Phantom of the Opera. Haar kristalhelder stem het die ouditorium se dak behoorlik laat lig. Met haar buitengewone stem- register was elke noot perfek. Eddie Clayton, die konsertmeester van bekende produksies soos Classics is Groot, was verantwoordelik vir die musikale verwerkings. Treffers het in- gesluit This is the Moment van Jeckyl and Hyde, Don’t Cry for me Argentina en ’n Keltics-weergawe van Sting se Field of Gold. Zita het ook haar nuwe enkelsnit bekendgestel – Wie weet wat Liefde is?
