Severino Reyes'
Walang Sugat

Directed by Carlitos Siguion-Reyna
Music by Chino Toledo

Severino Reyes’ original zarzuela that awakens our sense of heroism and nationalism, even as we fall madly in love with another human being. Under the direction of Carlitos Siguion-Reyna, music by Chino Toledo, choreography by Edna Vida, featuring some of our popular young performance artists, this production, employing irony, will acknowledge the truth that our country has a deep wound that has never fully healed – a truth that if we do not accept and recognize will forever make our country a nation without a real sense of nationhood and democracy.

In Doc Resureccion, Gagamutin ang Bayan by Layeta Bucoy (Directed by Tuxqs Rutaqio), a well-meaning doctor runs for Mayor only to find out that the community he so wanted to help desires a different path for itself

In Reuel Molina Aguila’s Maliw (Directed by Chris Millado), five years after the forced-disappearance of her eldest daughter, a mother confronts the question: How does one close a chapter still to be written? The play is set after her family celebrates her eldest daughter’s 30th birthday.

Nick Pichay’s Isang Araw sa Karnabal (Directed by Chris Millado) is about two former activists, both with missing loved ones, meeting again after a long time and attempting to mend broken ties.

About the Show:

This production is in cooperation with the Cultural Center of the Philippines in honor of Ms. Fides Cuyugan-Asensio, who penned the libretto and lyrics of the Song of Joseph, for her dedication to music theater for 60 years.

“Song of Joseph”, the Musical, is a music-theater masterpiece born out of love and devotion for the man who “took care of the interests” of Mary and Jesus. It is the life, the love and the glorious death of St. Joseph put into beautiful libretto and lyrics of Fides Asensio inspired from the bible and other little facts known about Saint Joseph. The music of the libretto was a team work of husband and wife Jeannelle and Raymond Roldan as their debut in music composition. It depicts the enduring love of Joseph for Mary, its joys and sorrows and the reward of a glorious death for having lived faithfully his divine call to be Mary’s and Jesus’ protector.

It is the first original Filipino full length musical on Saint Joseph, produced by Fr. Rony Alkonga, OSJ (Oblates of St. Joseph) in collaboration with Music Theater Foundation Philippines for the 100th year anniversary of the Oblates of Joseph in the Philippines. The music arrangements were created in collaboration with Jun Latonio, Paulo Zarate, Gino Cruz, Jungee Marcelo, and Alvin Nunez.

Family life, love and unity are the themes of The ‘Song of Joseph’ making it appropriate for the Christmas Season.

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.

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.
