“No we're not expecting anybody from abroad this season, we have 5 principles dancers in the company
and so many capable soloists to dance the classic Giselle, the sleeping beauty,
we are doing an original Filipino ballet on the 25th season,” Macuja
said during its media launch last July 15 at S Maison Hall of Conrad Hotel.

followed by the romantic ballet Giselle on October 19 and 20, and the yearend

“The most challenging ballet in On Pointe for me as a choreographer is not sleeping beauty, but La Traviata because for the first time I’m tackling tragedy, gone are the times I want to be funny now it’s like
super serious, there she dies, there is betrayal, there is a passion, there’s
lust, greed all the different human emotions,” Macuja explains.

This is the first time that Ballet Manila is doing the full length
of Sleeping Beauty, the piece is a three hour and half-hour long, but Macuja
did some adjustments, cut and update it to cater for the millennial crowd, and
of course, she wants a Dragon on stage.
All of On Pointe performances are staged at the Aliw Theater,

Spoliarium, an opera with libretto by Soprano Fides Cuyugan-Asensio and with music by Ryan Cayabyab was the first production I saw pertaining to the life of Juan Luna. Originally staged at the CCP in 2003 starring Robert Seña at the titular role, the opera was staged in Tribeca Performing Arts Center in New York thirteen years later. Philippine Stagers Foundation (PSF) current production of "Obra Ni Juan " was my follow-up. This original Filipino musical was written by Atty. Vince Tañada, PSF President and Artistic Director and with music by Peter Paul "Pipo" Cifra, president of UST Conservatory of Music Alumni Association Incorporated, marked as my first production I saw from PSF. Established in 2002, PSF is a professional theater company with an objective of helping the poor, elderly, sick and even the forgotten, has been consistently conducting free theater workshop in schools nationwide and continuously organizing outreach programs to various charities
