Dulaang UP is proud to present Noli Me Tangere: The Opera, a testament to the ingenuity of the Filipino artist.
In the continuing year-long celebration of Jose Rizal’s birth sesquicentenary and also as a pre-birth centennial tribute for National Artist Felipe de Leon, Dulaang UP is proud to present Noli Me Tangere: The Opera. This production of de Leon’s classic with libretto by Guillermo Tolentino marks only the third time since the 1980s that Rizal’s immortal novel is staged not as a play but as an opera.
Directed by DUP Artistic Director Alexander Cortez ( Cayabyab/ Asensio’s Spoliarium, Lumbera/Letaba’s Hibik at Himagsik nina Victoria Lactao, Quintos/De Guzman’s Atang: A Play with Music, Quintos/ Africa’s St. Louis Loves dem Filipinos: The Musical), Noli Me Tangere: The Opera is a testament to the ingenuity of the Filipino artist. With two pianos providing the accompaniment to the powerful voices of young and talented artists, the 2011 staging of this opera welds energy and fresh insight together with tradition to breathe life into Rizal’s opus through the transcending power of music.
Under the watchful tutelage of vocal coach and music supervision of Camille Lopez Molina, young promising opera singers Myramae Meneses, Antonio Ferrer, Kuya Manzano, Elainne Vibal, Chuck Hipol, Mark Queddeng, and veterans Jonathan Velasco, Jean Judith Javier, Joy Abalon Tamayo, Cynthia Guico, Rica Nepomuceno and Natasha Cabrera among many others from UP and other music conservatories interpret memorable songs from the opera. Among the songs included are Maria Clara’s Kay Tamis ng Buhay, Maria Clara and Ibarra’s duet Sa Lupang Pangako, Sisa’s haunting aria Awit ng Gabi, and Ibarra’s Aking Isinangguni to name but a few. Talented actors from the Dulaang UP ensemble complete the cast. Accompanists are pianists Noel dela Rosa and Christine Park.
Production designer Gino Gonzales puts to good use Philippine indigenous materials for the sets and the inabel cloth from the Ilocos region for the costumes. Lighting designer Jon Jon Villareal, sound designer Jethro Joaquin, and choreographer Dexter Santos collaborate to create an all-Filipino ambience fitting for the production. Winter David provides the video support with special props designed and executed by John Gaerlan. Pow Santillan renders the graphics design with photos by Jojit Lorenzo and Dino Dimar.
