About the Show:

Cirque Du Soleil to Perform the Signature Production Saltimbanco in Manila

Saltimbanco is Cirque du Soleil’s longest-running touring show and has performed since 1992 to wide-spread acclaim to sell-out audiences in Europe, North and South America, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand for more than 11.5 million enthusiastic fans.

Classic Cirque du Soleil at its best, Saltimbanco is a thrilling and kaleidoscopic celebration of awe-inspiring artistry and agility. With a cast of 50 high-caliber artists hailing from 20 different countries, Saltimbanco features breathtaking acrobatics and unbelievable athleticism during solo spotlights and epic ensembles. From the seemingly impossible balancing, jumping, and spinning during the Chinese Poles or the Russian Swing to the gravity-defying Bungees and Trapeze, the crowd pleasing Juggling and Acrobatic Bicycle, to the celebrated and very unique Clowns. Technical expertise and extravagant design are woven together by uplifting spectacular costumes, amazing lighting, humor and enchanting music and magic. Full of colour, amusement and amazement, Saltimbanco is a fun show for the whole family.

Saltimbanco - from the Italian “saltare in banco,” which literally means “to jump on a bench”- explores the urban experience in all its myriad forms: the people who live there, their idiosyncrasies and likeness, families and groups, the hustle and bustle of the street and the towering heights of skyscrapers. A signature show, it is inspired by the urban fabric of the metropolis and its colorful inhabitants. Decidedly baroque in its visual, the show’s eclectic cast of characters draws spectators into a fanciful, dreamlike world, an imaginary city where diversity is a cause for hope.

About the Show:

THE music of renowned 19th century Filipino composer Marcelo Adonay (1848-1928) will be brought to life by the Philippine Madrigal Singers led by Mark Carpio, with bass soloist, Greg de Leon, pianist Nita Abrogar-Quinto, violinist Chona Noble, the UP Cherubim and Seraphim, conducted by Elena R. Mirano, and the UP Orchestra under the baton of Prof. Edna Martinez in a concert entitled Adonay, the Maestro from Pakil on November 30, 2011, Wednesday, 3 PM, at the Cultural Center of the Philippines Little Theater. An informal talk on the maestro and his milieu at 1:30 PM at the CCP Dream Theater will precede the concert.

Repertoire will include La Marieta, La Julita for solo piano; Pequeña Balse, Meditacion Lugubre for violin and piano; Salve Regina, Libera Me Domine, Gozos a la Santisima Virgen (a Nuestra Señora de la Consolacion), Villancico a Belen Pastores, and two movements (Kyrie and Gloria) from his greatest sacred work, the Pequeña Misa Solemne (1903), which Adonay based on a fragment of Gregorian chant taken from a Flemish mass dated 1669.

Marcelo Adonay (1848-1928) hailed from Pakil, Laguna, and entered San Agustin Church as a tiple (boy soprano), as was the custom then in Spanish colonial times. His musical genius unfolded at the convent, a combination of self-taught and friar-honed skills, as he soon became adept at playing the organ, piano, violin, contrabass, flute and trumpet, composing liturgical as well as secular pieces. He eventually became the first Filipino maestro de capilla (chapel master) of the San Agustin music establishment, a much in-demand orchestra conductor and music teacher. Together with other Filipino musicians of his time such as Jose Canseco, Francisco Roxas, Bibiano Morales, Rosalio Silos and Manuel Mata, he lived and worked in what has been called “The Golden Age of Filipino Music” — 1880-1890. He was also instrumental in founding two important music societies -- the Union Artistica Musical in 1885, and the Sociedad de Santa Cecilia in 1888, organizations which aimed to promote and uplift Filipino music, and protect the interests of Filipino musicians.

Come and be part of a rare musical journey back to the glorious days of the Maestro’s era, when San Agustin Church reverberated magnificently with Adonay’s music.

Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater)

Zarzuelas of Pampanga at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP)

THE rich musical and cultural heritage of Pampanga will be celebrated in a musical production billed Mikit Tamu King Milabas (Romancing the Past) on September 24, 2011, 4 PM at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater).

The show, a co-production of the CCP and ArtiSta.Rita, presents the collection of ArtiSta.Rita zarzuelas and showcases excerpts from the group’s most unforgettable and outstanding musicals staged in the last ten years. The show also marks the group’s 10th anniversary.

Founded in Sta. Rita, Pampanga in 2001, ArtiSta.Rita is a non-stock, non-profit organization composed of artists dedicated to promote the arts, and in particular to keeping Kapampangan music alive. Inspired by the popular songs of childhood, ArtiSta.Rita took on the challenging and ambitious project of recording old, almost-forgotten Kapampangan songs. Whether in their traditional form or modernized, the albums received an enthusiastic response and created a strong and loyal following for ArtiSta.Rita’s brand of music and artistry. To date, ArtiSta.Rita has produced four all-Kapampangan music recordings, with one more in the works. Among its other accomplishments is the creation of the Duman Festival in 2002. This yearly Festival, with fine Kapampangan music and cuisine as main attractions, has grown to become a grand cultural event, drawing crowds to Santa Rita, Pampanga. For its work in promoting Kapampangan culture, ArtiSta.Rita was given the 2004 Most Outstanding Kapampangan award and the 2007 National Commission for Culture and Arts Gawad Alab ng Haraya Award (Duman Festival).

For its CCP show, ArtiSta.Rita will present excerpts from three zarzuelas in its collection—-Kapampangan Ku, Kwayan and Pamanuli. Kapampangan Ku portrays provincial life in the olden times. Kwayan highlights the Kapampangan’s bayanihan spirit while Pamanuli shows how old traditions evolve and change in modern times.

Tickets are priced at Php1,500 with 50% discount for students, 20% discount for senior citizens, government employees and military personnel. Group discounts are available.
