Whitney Houston ‘s epic concert in South Africa staged after President Nelson Mandela’s landmark election will be hitting theater screens this fall.
Houston’s performance in 1994 has been turned into a fully-remastered theatrical release called “The Concert for a New South Africa (Durban),” according to a statement Tuesday from several collaborators, including Houston’s estate, Sony Music Entertainment and Trafalgar Releasing.
The limited theatrical screening will debut Oct. 23 and feature the late singer’s never-before-released show from Durban, South Africa.
The project will come ahead of a new live album, “The Concert for a New South Africa (Durban),” which will be released Nov. 8.
“She loved South Africa; she loved the people, and she loved Nelson Mandela,” said Pat Houston, the singer’s sister-in-law and Houston estate executor who is an executive producer on the concert film. “This concert is one of the most consequential concerts of her career. On this momentous 30th anniversary, we are thrilled that we can release this film not only to her fans, but to the people of South Africa and its new generation.”
In 1994, Houston took the stage for three concerts in South Africa including in Durban at Kings Park Stadium, Johannesburg and Cape Town. Her performances came in a newly unified post-apartheid nation following Mandela’s historic election victory.
