The opera, inspired by José Rizal's 1887 classic romantic novel "Noli Me Tángere" ("Touch Me Not"), sung in Tagalog (supertitles in English are provided), follows the story of Juan Crisostomo Ibarra who returns to the Philippines after pursuing scholarly studies in Europe. He plans to open up a school and marry Maria Clara, his betrothed. However, parish priest Padre Damaso, the archenemy of the Ibarras, is out to hinder Crisostomo's plans, which creates "a dramatic storyline of forbidden love, betrayal, and revenge."

The opera stars internationally acclaimed tenor Sal Malaki as Juan Crisostomo Ibarra (he also played the same role in New York City and Washington, D.C.); popular Filipino soprano Rachelle Gerodias as Maria Clara; Ivan Nery as Juan Crisostomo Ibarra; Myramae Meneses as Maria Clara; Greg de Leon as Elias; Noel Azcona as Elias; Eggo Velasco as Basilio; Mari Ferrer as Crispin; Antoni Mendezona as Sisa; Jean Judith Javier as Sisa; Andrew Fernando as Padre Damaso; and Jonathan Velasco as Padre Damaso; among others.

Freddie Santos directs the members of the cast, accompanied by the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of Rodel Colmenar.
