Sa bawat malilinis na instensyon at maiinit na pagtanggap, Mga ngiting masasaya, walang pretensyon, walang pagbabadya. Mga pang-uunawa't pagbibigay na mula sa puso. Pag-iistimang hindi mo malilimutan, paglilingkod sa mga kabataang sadyang nangangailangan ng TAMA at WAGAS na pagkakakilanlan sa mundo ng Performing Arts at sa Opera, Kaalinsabay ng sinag ng liwanag na nagmumula kung saan... May pagasa pa nga po. Para sa isang pusong nagmamahal, at sa isang malinis na adbokasiya na walang halong Komersyalismo. Sa mga taong nagbukas ng pintuan, Nangarap na maisakatuparan, Ang isang parte ng Sining sa Entablado Na muling nabuhay at natanggap. Nakabalik. Niyakap sa muli ng mga kabataan. Sa isang direktor na may ganap na BISYON at imahinasyon, Sa isa pa ring direktor na gumalaw, kumilos, buong-husay na bumuo ng isang pangarap Sa isa pang kapwa Prodyuser na mapagkumbabang nakipag-ugnayan sa isang manunulat Sa isang simple, banayad at marahang pamamaraan. Sa mga musikang nailikha at sa direktor din ng mga musikang iyon pumaimbabaw sa mga pagtatanghal Sa mga artistang napansin rin at nabigyan ng mga papuri. Sa isang produksyon na sana'y magbalik muli at sa isang ganap na pagtatanghal mula sa isang award-giving body para sa mga Performing Artists... Ang L.E.A.F. awards- Lahat ay nagkaroon ng ultimong kaganapan. Tunay na rekognisyon Sapat na mga pagkapanalo. Mga palakpakang umalingawngaw Mga pusong muling nagmahalan at mga litratong muling nabuhay.

THE TWO "J"'s OF NOLI, THE OPERA: JERRY AND JEFFREY
THE ANGER OF CRISOSTOMO IBARRA UNLEASHED IN ONE SCENE FROM "NOLI, THE OPERA"
THE RIVER OUTING SCENE IN "NOLI, THE OPERA"
A SCENE FROM "NOLI, THE OPERA": WITH BASILIO, CRISPIN AND PILOSOPONG TASYO
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.
!The opera also features
returning cast members Bianca Lopez (Maria Clara), Nomher U. Nival (Juan
Crisostomo Ibarra), Ivan Nery (Juan Crisostomo Ibarra), Joseleo Logdat (Elias,
Pilosopo Tasyo), Greg Abelardo De Leon (Elias, Pilosopo Tasyo), Nil's Flores
(Padre Damaso), Ronaldo Villaruel Abarquez (Padre Damaso, Kapitan Tiago),
Miguel Espiritu (Kapitan Tiago), Allison Cervantes (Sisa), Bernadette Mamauag
(Sisa), Mia Bolaños (Doña Victorina), Charina Althea Balmores (Sinang), Micah
David J. Galang (Andeng), Krissan Manikan-Tan (Tiya Isabel), Rare Jireh Yzel
Columna (Victoria), Santino Juan Santiago (Crispin), Jose Mari Javato (Padre
Salvi), Oliver Pineda (Tenyente Guevarra), Timothy Racho (Alferez), Ruzzel
Clemeno (Don Filipo), Lorenz Edward Sarondo (Linares), Renz Nathaniel Cruz

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.
