On June 2, at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo, Cultural Center of the Philippines, the new Ambassador Luca Fornari and wife Silvana Novelli will commemorate the Republic Day of Italy by hosting a gala concert of Italy’s best and arguably most famous violinist, Uto Ughi, accompanied by another accomplished musician, pianist Alessandro Specchi.

This rare, top-notch showcase of Italian artistry and vivacity is open for all music lovers and society watchers to experience. The breathtaking lineup includes all three movements of Beethoven’s long and intensely emotional “Sonata op 47 in La Maggiore,” better known as the “Kreutzer” Sonata; the darkly sweet “Fantasia Su Temi del Faust op 20” by Wieniawski; the more familiar, brisk etude from Paganini entitled “La Campanella”; and “Introduzione e Rondò capriccioso” by Camille Saint-Saens.

“Programma tour Asia Maggio-Giugno 2010” featuring Uto Ughi and Alessandro Specchi at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo CCP Main Theater is open to the public. Tickets are on a first-come, first-served basis through the CCP office. Call 02-8321125 loc. 1800 (Susan Ortiz). Formal dress code is applied. Show starts at 8:00 p.m.

Thanks to Tita Elvie of CCP who got me and my friends some tickets to this event (last minute nakakuha pa kami =). Now I know that when embassies sponsor a CCP show, there's free buffet dinner (food and drinks popular in their respective countries... in this case Italian!... yum yum). So it's best to come at least one hour before the show to enjoy the sumptuous free feast =)

About the Event:

"Love conquers all-even those not bound by earthly frontiers.
This is the essence of Giselle, one of the most well loved ballets of all time.

Giselle is a beautiful romantic but tragic two act ballet based on a French tale of a peasant girl Giselle, who falls in love with a boy she believes to be a peasant as well. Giselle has a delicate condition and a weak heart so, although she loves to dance, her mother forbids her to do so. The peasant boy Giselle is in love with turns out to be the of noble blood, Albrecht who is engaged to be married to Bathilde (a duchess - to be played by Chin Chin Gutierrez). Giselle finds out of the betrayal and deception and her heart cannot take it. She loses her mind and dies of a broken heart.

Act 2 is set in the cemetery where Giselle is buried. A distraught Albrecht comes to visit her grave. Here, Giselle becomes a "Wili" or the ghosts of betrayed girls who die before their wedding day. The Wilis are said to haunt the cemetery and seek vengeance from men by making all men dance until they die. Giselle dances with Albrecht until dawn breaks. She forgives him and allows him to live.

The ballet ends with Giselle and Albrecht being parted forever as dawn breaks.

Giselle features prima ballerina Lisa Macuja-Elizalde in the lead role with TV and movie personality Chin Chin Gutierrez as the duchess, Bathilde."

Flow... a one-of-a-kind, family entertainment extravaganza! by PAGCOR May 26 to June 30, 2010

Flow... Philippine entertainment has never been this electrifying!

Flow tells the story of -- Dance -– a graceful creature whose cheery disposition and fluid moves work in sync to express her deepest affections. Born into the world of music, her life mirrors the creation of dance and movement, like a child exploring rhythms side by side with experiences.

Dance, as a child, discovers a passion to sway to different beats, influenced by a variety of dance forms. She eagerly goes through each experience as she grows up as an adolescent, then as an adult. Along the way she learns the language of ballet, tango, tap, flamenco, jazz, even hip hop and stomp. But in the end, she manages to find her own soul, and with it, comes up with a dance all her own.

Music and movement come together for an inspired, dazzling union at the latest world-class production by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), entitled Flow.

Developed by the same creative team behind Wanders, the one-of-a-kind musical extravaganza created by PAGCOR Chairman Efraim C. Genuino, Flow represents PAGCOR`s second salvo in theatrical productions.

With Flow, audiences can expect a lineup of captivating dances from a cast of 150 performers including dancers from Cuba and new Chinese acrobats from the school of Zhengzhou in Henan province. They join Filipino performers and an 18-piece big band, singers, and illusionists to render another full-scale musical production complete with shimmering costumes, amazing stage effects, and breathtaking performances.

The show aims to revolutionize Philippine entertainment as we know it.


Venue: PAGCOR Grand Theater,
Paranaque, near NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport)
