  “Rent” had its launch last April 18, 2024 (Thursday) evening, running two (2) and a half hours at Carlos P. Romulo Theater, fourth floor of Rizal Banking Commercial Corporation (RCBC) Plaza, in the bustling central business district (CBD) of Makati City. “Rent” is a rock opera adapted from Jonathan Larson’s book inspired by previous operas about bohemian living where young artists struggled in downtown cities in America in the 19 th and 20 th centuries. The award-winning American musical was adapted by local theater company, 9works Theatrical. The actors were candid in their stage performances. There were occasional microphone lapses, but the actor continued with their performances excellently.  9works Theatrical knows how to capture its audience. Meet and greet was extra special and different as audiences were invited to sing along in chorus by the end of the show. “Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes.” the song starts, “In daylights? In sunsets? How about love?”

  An opera brings its audience to a world created through an interesting collaboration between a librettist and composer. Opera is brought to life by vocal pieces and arias performed by singers, with live instrumental accompaniment from an orchestra.  This May 7, the CCP’s The Met: Live in HD presents its second installment for its ninth season - French composer Georges Bizet’s Carmen, a tragic opera about a gypsy woman named Carmen who seduces an army corporal guarding her prison cell. Their tumultuous love affair ends when Carmen turns her attention to a bullfighter. The corporal’s love turns to jealousy and violence.  Through this program, the Cultural Center of the Philippines aims to reintroduce to Filipino audiences, especially to the younger generations, classical opera masterpieces whose stories transcend boundaries and cultural backgrounds, while remaining relevant to the time.  Before you head to Greenbelt 3 Cinema 1 in Makati City for the special opera screening, here are so

The backbone and foundation of the project took time, but the actual making of the music went smoother and a lot quicker than I expected. It was li

  Música April 4, 2024 trailer more photos here Rudy Mancuso, a charismatic but directionless young street performer from Newark’s Ironbound neighborhood, has a unique view of the world. Thanks to a rare condition called synesthesia, he experiences everyday noises – from car horns to water droplets to doors slamming – as a series of complex rhythms. He struggles to keep the music in his head at bay, but it’s not so easily accomplished. When he’s not taking classes to finish his college degree or staging puppet performances for commuters on the streets of the Ironbound’s close-knit Brazilian community, Rudy is trying to convince his girlfriend, Haley (Francesca Reale), that he will eventually figure things out. He lives with his mother, Maria (played by the actor’s real-life mother, Maria Mancuso), who wants her son to dump Haley and settle down with a nice Brazilian girl from the neighborhood. Rudy also gets advice on life and love from his best friend, Anwar (comedian J.B. Smoove), a
