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

NOLI ME TANGERE, THE OPERA is a timeless tale of love, betrayal and hope against a backdrop of torture, murder, and tyranny. The story follows Juan Crisostomo Ibarra who, after pursuing his studies in Europe, returns to the Philippines. Ibarra plans to set up a school and marry his betrothed, Maria Clara. His plans turn sour when parish priest, Padre Damaso is out to hinder Ibarra’s agenda. The opera paints a picture of “social cancer” that represents the putrescent government system, the outlawed ways of the church and the unfavorable proceedings of the privileged class.
The creative team will reunite Sibal, Camañag, and Ranera with collaborators Dingdong Fiel, Ronan H. Ferrer, Albert Figueras, Dennis Marasigan, TJ Ramos, and Alan Dela Rama.
