adaptation of Carl Orff’s beloved cantata by National Artist for Dance, Alice
Reyes, returns with the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Philippine
Madrigal Singers with soprano Lara Maigue.
Performances run
from June 14-15 at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater.
Alice Reyes’
CARMINA BURANA is one of the company’s most iconic pieces. Inspired by the
goliardic verses set to Carl Orff’s majestic score, Reyes tells the story
of a community experiencing the joys of life, drinking, and love, through
exuberant, erotic, and pagan movements.
This new restaging
will feature live music by the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra and the
Philippine Madrigal Singers and guest soloist Lara Maigue.
Mesmerizing sets
and costumes are by the late National Artist for Theater Design Salvador
Bernal.
CARMINA BURANA premiered
in 1975 and Restagings 1978, 1980, 1983, 1990, 2003, 2018, 2022.
Also featured in
the first half of the program is Reyes’ DUGSO, a work inspired by rituals
performed by the tribes of Bukidnon, Mindanao, set to National Artist for
Music, Dr. Ramon Santos’ choral piece Ding Ding nga Diyawan. First performed in
1972 it is a groundbreaking collaboration by the two National Artists. It
was last staged in 1990 and is being brought back for a new generation of
audiences.
Norman Walker’s
romantic pas de deux, SUMMER’S END, and Augustus ‘Bam’ Damian III’s AFTER WHOM,
a showcase of the company’s dynamism and bravado in neo-classical, modern, and
contemporary ballet complete the repertoire for an unforgettable evening.
