Based on National Hero Dr. Jose Rizal's 1887 classic novel of the same name, NOLI ME TANGERE, THE OPERA, which premiered in 1957 and features the music and libretto by National Artists Felipe Padilla De Leon and Guillermo Tolentino, respectively, broke box office records at the CCP with three sold-out performances last March, which prompted this mid-year rerun.
The production is co-directed by international event stylist
Jerry Sibal and veteran theater director-playwright Jose Jeffrey Camañag,
featuring the 53-piece NOLI Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Maestro
Herminigildo Galang Ranera.

In its 50th anniversary, the Cultural Center of the
Philippines (CCP) and J&S Productions Inc. are thrilled to welcome new cast
additions to the smash-hit NOLI ME TANGERE, THE OPERA's limited return
engagement at the CCP Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo from June 21 to 23, 2019.
Lyric soprano Mheco Manlangit joins the cast as Maria Clara; boy sopranos
Miguel Suarez, Matteo Teehankee, and Johann Andra to play Basilio, and tenor
Paul Dominique Galvez to play Albino.
NOLI ME TANGERE, THE OPERA tells the timeless story about
love, betrayal, and hope set against a repulsive backdrop of tyranny, torture,
and murder. It follows Juan Crisostomo Ibarra who returns to the Philippines
after pursuing scholarly studies in Europe. He plans to open up a school and
marry Maria Clara, his betrothed. However, parish priest Padre Damaso, the
archenemy of the Ibarras, is out to hinder Crisostomo's agenda. NOLI ME
TANGERE, THE OPERA paints a clear picture of the so-called "social cancer"
that illustrates the rotten system of governance, the illicit way of the
church, and the unfavorable trade of the privileged class.
The show's creative team reunites Sibal (who is also the set and costume designer), Camañag, and Ranera with their collaborators Dingdong Fiel (assistant musical director, pianist), Ronan H. Ferrer (voice coach, choirmaster), Albert Figueras (co-costume designer), Dennis Marasigan (lighting designer), TJ Ramos (sound designer/engineer), and Alan Dela Rama (graphics and video designer).
Performed with English supertitles, NOLI ME TANGERE, THE
OPERA will run for one weekend only at the CCP Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo:
June 21-June 23, 2019, at 2 p.m., and June 22, 2019, at 8 p.m.
