Ballet Manila presents Snow White

Due to the success of “Cinderella,” another masterpiece from the Prima Ballerina will have its world premiere in the 22nd performance season, “Flights of Fantasy.” Snow White will make its world premiere on November 25, 2017 at 6:00 PM at the Aliw Theater.

Ballet Manila’s take on the fairy tale classic, Snow White, will be more Brothers Grimm than Disney when it comes to the production’s look and feel. This was a conscious decision made by Lisa herself, as she wanted the storytelling to be the main star of the show. They are “storytellers on toes,” after all.

Watch Ballet Manila’s Don Quixote

Ballet Manila invites you to watch one of the world’s most colorful and enduring ballet pieces—Don Quixote. Happening on February 24 and 25, 2017 at 8:00 p.m. and on February 26, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. at Aliw Theater, Don Quixote is known in the ballet world as one of the most technically challenging pieces ever created, with some of the choreography raising the already high international standards when it first premiered in 1869 at the Tsar’s Imperial Ballet of St. Petersburg. It is especially known for its compulsory quick and strong movements, high vertical takeoffs, one arm lifts, quick fouettes, quadruple pirouettes, and Kitri’s signature move, the Plisetskaya head-kick.
