Ballet Manila: The Swan, The Fairy and The Princess
The second act for the 21st performance
season of the country’s leading ballet company, Ballet Manila, will bring together some of today’s most esteemed
names in the international and local art scene for an unforgettable showcase of
talent and mastery of their respective crafts.
A production that pays tribute to one of the
world’s most distinguished composers, Peter Tschaikovsky, whose masterpieces
are immortalized in classical ballet, The
Swan, The Fairy and The Princess goes
on stage on October 14 and 15 at 8:00p.m., and on October 16 at 3:00p.m at the
Aliw Theater. It features excerpts from three of the master composer’s most
celebrated works, namely Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and The Sleeping Beauty.
Of course, Ballet Manila knows that honoring a
legend will require only the best. That’s why the ballet company is bringing
together some of the world’s most notable artists for this production,
including Kremlin Ballet Theater’s Premier Danseur, Mikhail Martynyuk, and Maestro
Alexander Vikulov of the Mariinsky Theater, who will be conducting the Manila
Symphony Orchestra for the ballet’s live musical scoring. In addition, veteran
theater and TV actor, Miguel Faustmann, will assume the role of Peter Tchaikovsky.
Joining these masters are some of Ballet Manila’s
strongest Vaganova Academy style-trained danseurs and ballerinas, including Abigail
Oliveiro who will dance the role of Odette, Dawna Mangahas who is playing the
role of the Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker, and Katherine Barkman who will
dance as the well-loved princess Aurora.
The Swan, The Fairy and The Pricess is co-presented
by the Manila Broadcasting Company, Star City, and Aliw Theater. Other sponsors
include ACS Manufacturing Corporation, First United Corporation, Papa John’s
Pizza, Hot Star Chicken, Oasis Paco Park Hotel, Microtel Wyndham Hotels, Island
Rose, and Philcom.
Revenge of the Classics
Ballet Manila’s 21st performance season
pays homage to some of the most memorable and technically challenging classical
ballets that were ever made. Aptly named Revenge of the Classics, the new
season also features Rebel: EDSA 30, a symbolic retelling of the events that
transpired during the EDSA Revolution.; Don Quixote, which is essentially a
ballet retelling of Miguel de Cervantes’ classic novel and; Cinderella, which according
to Ballet Manila promises to stay true to the animated feature that generations
of young girls and boys loved.
