Bizet's CARMEN, one of the world's most popular operas, presented by Lyric Opera of the Philippines, Manila Downtown YMCA, and Manila Symphony Orchestra, is set to grace the Philippine stage once again at the St. Cecilia Hall of St. Scholastica's College next week, October 26, 27, and 28.
On its tenth anniversary, the Philippine Opera Company ('La Boheme', 'Harana') brings back its critically acclaimed production of Terrence McNally's 1996 Tony award-winning play 'Master Class', starring Philippine cinema icon Ms. Gil in the role of the opera world's grand dame Maria Callas (1923-1977). Presented in a master class format, the straight play explores what could have transpired inside the opera's classroom with Callas at the Juilliard 1971-72, at the time when the dramatic soprano had already lost her voice.
