Witness a fusion of ballet and classical music as Ballet Manila\u00a0<\/strong>(BM) closes its 24th season, On Pointe<\/em>, with the staging of\u00a0Carmina Burana & La Traviata (A Double Bill)<\/strong>\u00a0on March 7<\/strong> and 8, 2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Happening at the Samsung Hall <\/strong>at\u00a0SM Aura, Taguig City<\/strong>, the performances are choreographed by BM artistic director Liza Macuja-Elizalde<\/strong> (La Triviata) and former BM principal dancer Rudy De Dios<\/strong> (Carmina Burana).<\/p>\n

La Triviata<\/strong>, which is based on an opera of the same name, revolves around Violetta, Alfredo, and their complicated romance thwarted by outside forces and a character named Baron.<\/p>\n

In an interview on BM’s website, Macuja-Elizalde shared that the opera is a favorite of hers, describing its story as a perfect fit for a ballet.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s simply so romantic and every aria is just so beautiful and moving,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Carmina Burana\u00a0<\/strong>is Rudy De Dios’s first full-length ballet that is based on medieval Latin poems highlighted with the dramatic music by Carl Orff.\u00a0It depicts an epic battle between good and evil as Spero, with the divine help of Atheos, leads his people away from the villainous Atheos.<\/p>\n

Originally,\u00a0Carmina Burana & La Traviata was supposed to be accompanied by live orchestra music and singing, but as the company copes with the recent unfortunate incident that damaged the Star Theater and Aliw Theater, they decided to scrap it off and stick with a more modest staging.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Ballet Manila will finish the season strong despite the challenges that came their way.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing can take the place of an excellent performance and great dancing\u2013the kind of dancing that takes many years of practice to achieve,\u201d Macuja-Elizalde said.<\/p>\n

Tickets for\u00a0Carmina Burana & La Traviata are available at SM Tickets outlets and online via\u00a0smtickets.com<\/a>\u00a0starting at Php 1,000<\/strong> for Gold seats\u00a0<\/strong>to Php 3,000<\/strong> for VVIP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
