Passion to mark 20th year of Philippine Opera Company
Vien King and Shiela Valderrama-Martinze for Passion
The Philippine Opera Company is turning 20 years old this
September 2019, and to celebrate its glorious anniversary, they are staging
Stephen Sondheim’s Passion, a 1994 Tony Awardee for Best Musical that tells a
story of one soldier who falls in love with two women at the same time, one with
lust and the other is one true love.
“Passion is an operetta, and Stephen Sondheim is
considered as a composer of contemporary opera, Marketing wise we want to do
something, not commercial but more relatable, more accepted or accessible, it
boils to marketing” Karla Gutierrez, Artistic Director of Philippine OperaCompany said during its launching last August 12.

Directing Passion is multi-awarded Director Robbie
Guevara, a proud Stephen Sondheim fan he religiously read, watch and follow all
the works in the theater of Sondheim, that makes him perfect to stage this
production.
“For me as a Director, it’s the easiest thing in my 10 years I’m Directing, because the music is so clear if you
understand the language of Stephen Sondheim, fortunately, I’m such a geek, I’ve
been reading about it since ’90s.” Guevara said.

Among other works of Sondheim, Guevara is mounting Passion
with 15-piece orchestra plus 1 conductor for its music to come alive a felt,
he is putting some changes compared to the previous restaging in Broadway or
Westend, but his main focus is the story, he wants the story to standout as is.
“What I am excited about Passion is, it’s a simple story, the very simple set, it’s not brilliantly complicated as you have 4 or 5 stories
that came together as one, it’s not outlandish huge like Sweeney Todd, the
brilliance on Stephen Sondheim is the most difficult, to learn and to execute,
note wise,” Guevarra added.

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
