  • David Foster and Friends Live At The Theatre At Solaire

    Solaire Resort Entertainment City presents an unforgettable night with legendary hitmaker David Foster as part of its 10th anniversary celebration. “David Foster and Friends, Live at The Theatre at Solaire” is the first of its kind – an eight-show residency happening on March 21 to 26, 2023.

    David Foster’s career has spanned over 4 decades which has garnered him the title of “THE HITMAN”, having written and produced many chart-topping songs that have propelled several artists to star status and have gone down the music industry’s history as legends, such as Whitney Houston, Madonna, Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, and Michael Bublé.

    David Foster and Friends Live at The Theatre at Solaire

    He has created culture-defining soundtracks for blockbuster films including Joel Schumacher’s coming-of-age motion picture St. Elmo’s Fire, James Bridges’ 1980 flick Urban Cowboy, and Mick Jackson’s The Bodyguard starring Whitney Houston for her acting debut. He’s also the genius behind timeless holiday tunes that have become the anthem of the season like Josh Groban’s “Noel”, Michael Bublé’s “Christmas”, Celine Dion’s “These Are Special Times”, Rod Stewart’s “Merry Christmas Baby”, and Andrea Bocelli’s “My Christmas”.

    His record-breaking work in the industry awarded him 16 Grammy Awards, an Emmy, and Golden Globe award, 3 Oscar nominations, and the famous star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame to state a few. He ventured into television as a judge for Asia’s Got Talent for 3 seasons and for the first season of Chinese station Hunan TV’s World’s Got Talent. Foster’s popularity in Asia proves to be unmatched with sold-out shows at every stop of his David Foster & Friends Asia Tour.

    In recent years, the world-renowned entertainer has toured across the United States to stage various performances of his show “An Intimate Evening with David Foster” some of which have been broadcasted on television across the country. He returns to Manila for a special 8-show visit as part of Solaire’s 10th-anniversary festivities where fans and the audience can expect to hear some of his greatest hits sung and interpreted by his guest artists.

    Together with David, show-goers will also hear singer and actress Katharine McPhee who became a household name after her successful run on the 5th season of American Idol. Her first single, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow/My Destiny,” debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Hot Singles Sales chart, while her 2007 self-titled album debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 propelled by the gold-certified single, “Over It”. As an actress, she starred in the spy drama SCORPION (2014-2018) as ‘Paige Dineen’, and as one of the leads in the award-winning musical series SMASH (2012-2013), executive produced by Steven Spielberg. Her latest starring role is in the Netflix comedy series, Country Comfort (2021). In Spring 2018, Katharine made her Broadway debut as ‘Jenna’ in the hit musical Waitress, featuring music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles.

    Another artist joining Foster is Pia Toscano who was one of the frontrunners on American Idol’s Season 10 run for her powerhouse voice and head-turning looks. Toscano performed alongside Jennifer Lopez in her Vegas Residency, “All I Have”, and regularly tours with David Foster and Andrea Bocelli. Pia released her first album, “I’m Good” with originally written music including a collaboration with Usher. She’s headlined her own show in Las Vegas which was filmed as a PBS special and has released a musical film entitled “1660 Vine”.

    Also joining McPhee and Toscano is Daniel Emmet who appeared on America’s Got Talent with his spellbinding and commanding operatic voice. His wide range of expression spans musical genres from rock to pop, to opera, all the while singing in seven languages. Emmet released his acclaimed single “True Reflection” which debuted at #1 on the iTunes Classical Chart and has headlined shows in Las Vegas at Caesars Palace, T-Mobile Arena, Paris Las Vegas, and Westgate Las Vegas. He has toured with Marie Osmond, and most recently returned to America’s Got Talent this past season for a viral performance as the singing voice of Simon Cowell for the act of artificial intelligence company Metaphysic. Daniel regularly tours with David Foster and Katharine McPhee and recently held his highly anticipated new concert special “Daniel Emmet & Pia Toscano, Simply the Best” at the iconic International Theatre at Westgate Las Vegas.

    “David Foster and Friends, Live at The Theatre at Solaire” will also feature some of the most prolific Filipino voices showcasing the distinct and world recognized Pinoy showmanship to an already incredible performance lineup. The Philippines’ Concert King Martin Nievera will join the hitmaker on stage every show, while Asia’s Phoenix Morissette enchants with her voice from March 21 to 22 and March 24 to 26 at the 8PM shows.

    Learn how to paint Chinese style at Araneta City Gateway Gallery main poster

    In this workshop, Esguerra will be teaching his students the Gong-bi style, the Traditional Meticulous style or what they call the Court style of painting, and Xieyi, the freehand or literati style. He has painted and exhibited eclectic themes in these two styles—from the natural world to everyday Filipino scenes, honing his skills through constant practice and teaching.

    The sessions are meant to give the students skills on the proper holding of brushes (brush strokes); familiarization with Xuan paper and Chinese pigments; techniques in the meticulous style of Chinese painting; and techniques in coloring in the freelance style. 

    An expert and a prolific artist of Chinese art, Esguerra started painting at age five and has been practicing Chinese painting since the 1980s. He fell in love with Chinese painting when he attended a class on it in Liberty Hall, Binondo in 1984, the center of artistic activities in Manila’s Chinatown. He is a Senior Lecturer at the University of the Philippines Manila where he has lectured courses on Philippine and Asian History, Archaeology, and History of Medicine.

    Dynamics of Brush and Color will be held at the Gateway Gallery (in Gateway Tower, Araneta City) on February 25, March 4, 11, and 18.

  • Michael B. Jordan Stars, Makes His Directorial Debut in “Creed III”

    He states, “I had a clear vision of what I wanted the story to be, where I wanted the Creed family to go. The challenge of directing helped motivate me—I wanted to see if I had what it takes to act in and direct something that had been kicking around in my head for a long time. “Creed III” is very personal to me and, thankfully, all those things added up to the perfect situation for this movie.”

    In the film, after dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) has been thriving in both his career and family life. When a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy, Damian (Jonathan Majors), resurfaces after serving a long sentence in prison, he is eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring. The face-off between former friends is more than just a fight. To settle the score, Adonis must put his future on the line to battle Damian – a fighter who has nothing to lose.

    “This is an origin story, a sequel, and a trilogy all in one,” says Jordan. “We’ve seen Adonis at a young age in the earlier films, but we never had the chance to really see how he was in and out of juvie, what really shaped him to be the Adonis Creed that we know, before he was adopted and brought into a life of wealth, opportunity and legacy. I felt it would result in a kind of identity crisis for him.”

    Jordan feels a kinship with the character of Adonis. Before Jordan ascended to global superstar with his performance in Ryan Coogler’s “Black Panther,” it was the director’s 2015 “Creed” that introduced Jordan to the power of not just admiring, but being part of, a cinematic legacy.

    “I grew up along with Adonis Creed,” says Jordan. “I created him with Ryan and got a chance to play him at pivotal times during my own personal life. So now, in the third film in the series, to be able to tell the story of where I am now, and where Adonis is on his journey, feels extremely personal.

    “I was excited to see Adonis through to wherever he needed to go next,” Jordan adds. “How does he stay hungry? How does he find motivation now? The answer was, through a reminder about who he was before fame, and before he got everything that he dreamed of. As an actor and a director, that’s what I was most interested in exploring.”
