    Vienna Boys’ Choir Live in Manila

    Ovation Productions, in cooperation with the Cultural Center of the Philippines, presents the Vienna Boys’ Choir live in Manila on April 26 and 27 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater, Newport World Resorts. This special performance was arranged through the Austrian Embassy in Manila.

    FINAL POSTER

    The Vienna Boys’ Choir is a group of boy sopranos and altos based in Vienna, Austria. It is one of the best-known boys’ choirs in the world. For a century, they have been touring the world and touching audiences with their music. What began in 1926 with a first tour to Germany and Switzerland has grown into a tradition that connects generations. In 2026, the Vienna Boys’ Choir is celebrating their 100 years of touring.

    There are currently 97 active boy choristers, divided into four boys’ choirs, which all perform as “Vienna Boys Choir”: Brucknerchor (Choirmaster Manolo Cagnin), Haydnchor (Choirmaster Jimmy Chiang), Mozartchor (Choirmaster Manuel Huber), and Schubertchor (Choirmaster Niccolò Morello). The four choirs share concerts, tours, sound recordings and filming equally. Between them, they perform up to 300 concerts per year, with almost half a million people attending. Since 1924, the choirs have completed more than 1000 tours in 100 different countries, clocking up a staggering 29,000 concerts. The choir’s first visit to the Philippines took place in 1967; their last was in 2016.

    Maestro Cagnin has been one of the Vienna Boys Choir’s four touring choirs since 2008. Since then, he has led the choir on numerous tours around the world. In addition to conducting the choir’s own concerts, he prepares the music for the Sunday services with the Vienna Chapel Imperial (Wiener Hofmusikkapelle) and for performances at Vienna’s opera houses, as well as for audio and video recordings. He also coaches the boys for performances with renowned orchestras, such as the Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna Symphony, the Wiener Akademie, the Staatskapelle Dresden, or the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

  • National Artist Ryan Cayabyab Returns to the Proscenium Theater with What’s It All About? — Celebrating the Music of Burt Bacharach

    National Artist Ryan Cayabyab Returns to the Proscenium Theater with What’s It All About? — Celebrating the Music of Burt Bacharach

    This May, audiences are invited to rediscover some of the most beloved songs ever written as National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab returns to the stage with the third chapter of the MaestroClass Concert Series: What’s It All About? — Celebrating the Music of Burt Bacharach, happening May 15 to 17, 2026, at the Proscenium Theater.

    Whats It All About

    Following sold-out runs, the MaestroClass series continues its signature “masterclass-style” format where Cayabyab goes beyond conducting and performing. Through stories, musical demonstrations, and live arrangements, he guides audiences through the artistry and structure behind songs that shaped generations.

    Presented by Rockwell, this third chapter celebrates the legendary songbook of Burt Bacharach, the American hitmaker whose sophisticated pop melodies and distinctive compositions produced dozens of global classics and influenced generations of composers worldwide.

    For this special three-night engagement, Cayabyab brings together an exciting lineup of powerhouse Filipino vocalists, Jett Pangan, Bituin Escalante, Gigi De Lana, and Sofronio Vasquez, joined by the dynamic vocal group Baihana, promising an evening of rich harmonies, storytelling, and powerful interpretations, under the stage direction of Rowell Santiago.   

    Screenshot 2026 03 11 at 2.33.41 PM

    Together, they will bring to life some of Bacharach classics including What the World Needs Now Is Love, Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head, I Say a Little Prayer, The Look of Love, Close to You, and Walk On By—timeless songs known for their lush arrangement and intricate rhythms.

    Set within the intimate 776-seat Proscenium Theater, the experience is elevated by the venue’s natural acoustics—the first of its kind in the Philippines—and its Steinway & Sons grand piano, providing the perfect stage for Cayabyab to explore Bacharach’s music.

    Tickets for What’s It All About? — Celebrating the Music of Burt Bacharach are available on March 14 via TicketWorld (online and outlets) and at the Power Plant Mall Cinema. Following two sold-out chapters—from the music of Ryan Cayabyab himself to timeless OPM classics—the MaestroClass Concert Series now turns its spotlight to the legendary songs of Burt Bacharach.

  • OFW Realities Mirrored Through Theatre in Dulaang UP’s Ang Kaliitan ng Kasalukuyan

    OFW Realities Mirrored Through Theatre in Dulaang UP’s Ang Kaliitan ng Kasalukuyan

    For many different reasons, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) courageously make a living abroad for years and oceans away from their loved ones. Most venture far in high hopes of greener pastures for their families. They confront homesickness, loneliness, culture shock, language barriers and (frustratingly) even racism in their everyday lives. Our migrant workers endure this altogether as they are driven by the struggle of life in the homeland.

    DUP AKK Poster March 2 IG Ratio

    Deemed as the country’s “modern day heroes”, their remittances play an integral role in the economy. There is then a strong sense of dependence by the government on the taxes collected from our “heroes”. Sensibly, one might expect that currencies entering the country would elevate the collective Filipino way of life, but that is not the case even after decades of waging OFWs.

    Their presence (or absence) has been normalized. It has become routine to see them out to the airport and greet them with Duty Free goods — often every Christmas or New Year’s season. Before leaving the country, they treasure moments at home as best as they can through feasting, meaningful conversations, and nostalgia walks. As they prepare to leave again, they take memorabilia and a new set of memories to sustain them in their workplace. 

    The solution to this cyclic and systemic problem is often grazed upon. Although media representations of their narratives are well-documented and shared through films, news broadcasts, social media sites, and television series, the conversation is lacking in the space of theatre.

    Dulaang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas (DUP) aims to offer treatises in filling this void. Their production in the works, Ang Kaliitan ng Kasalukuyan, was written and directed by Don Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature multi-awarded playwright and DUP Artistic Director, Arlo Deguzman. A returning alumni, not only does he head home and pay his services forward to his alma mater, but also picks up where he left in the country having been a migrant worker himself for almost two decades across fifty countries.

    Written from a place of diasporic experience, the piece is a powerful and contemporary work that tackles the emotional landscape of and an ode to our OFWs. These stories, embodied in movement and lyric, aim to negotiate the melancholically veiled struggles of a migrant worker: a father’s frustration from unending remittances, a mother seeking to make the sacrifice worthwhile, a sister negotiating the promise of separation, and a son bearing the silence of a deafening burden. DUP invites us to contemplate on our origins and bids for connection and home.

    Perhaps this allows you to ponder on life in the Philippines or abroad and would lead you to questions or answers sought after. You might even find comfort in knowing some of the cast and crew had been an OFW, had thought (or is thinking) of being one, or longs for a loved one abroad. Whether you are an OFW or not, a story relative to yours will be told live through theatre that will certainly evoke in you a sense of yearning. 

    With the increasing tensions around the globe, the safety of our OFWs is then at risk — it is Dulaang UP’s hope that fellow countrymen be home safe, live and labor in their homeland with dignity and justice. Ultimately, for that time where all Filipinos are happy at home, without needing to leave, could come.

    The production will run from March 12, 2026 to March 29, 2026 at the IBG-KAL Theater, UP Diliman; Thursdays and Fridays at 7:30PM, and Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30PM and 7:30PM. Tickets are available via https://bit.ly/AngKaliitanNgKasalukuyan2026 with the following prices:

    • 1,000 PHP Regular Price 
    • 800 PHP PWD / Senior Citizens / Non-UP Students
    • 700 PHP for OFWs—current and former, ticket is transferable; available via direct purchase
