Dolphins by Starlight is a journey through time for young and old alike, who will be able to see some of KwaZulu-Natal’s top musical talents and aquatic superstars at uShaka Marine World from 6 to 15 December.
Audience members will be able to hear renditions of golden oldies such as the Christmas Song, Jingle Bells and Ave Maria alongside contemporary classics like Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Justin Bieber’s Mistletoe.
