Wazzup Pilipinas!
Ballet Philippines begins 2018 with a bang with the red-hot classical ballet, Don Quixote on February 9-18, 2018 at the CCP Main Theater.
Everyone loves this ballet: taken from an episode from Miguel de Cervantes’ tale, it follows the gentleman from La Mancha as he ventures into Barcelona.
This is the perfect ballet for first-time watchers: festive and fun, the ballet is a non-intimidating romantic comedy that ballet virgins can enjoy. At the same time, it is also perfect for balletomanes.
Aside from Don Q’s signature leaps, turns and lifts that ballet lovers look out for, we will also feature the amazing Joseph Gatti, former principal dancer of Cincinnati Ballet and Corella Ballet as guest artist.
The winner of various international ballet competitions such as the New York International Ballet Competition and World Ballet Competition, Gatti has been invited to perform all over the USA, South America, Europe, Russia and Japan.
This is Gatti's first visit to the Philippines, and he will partner our very own award-winning ballerina Candice Adea. They will perform in two special Gala Nights with the Manila Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Jeffrey Solares.
