Our PRIMA season concludes with "La Bayadere" still on our mind!
"In 1986, fresh from the venerable Mariinsky Ballet, Lisa Macuja Elizalde arrived in Manila like a force of nature. Filipino audiences had rarely seen such technical strength, polish, and relentless drive for perfection. Forty years later, she continues to raise the bar through Ballet Manila, a company synonymous with the Russian classical tradition and an uncompromising pursuit of excellence."
Thank you Ms. Marge Enriquez and Theater Fans Manila!

"That commitment is evident in 'La Bayadère', the season finale, which boasts strength in numbers, with a large ensemble for its many corps dances and a roster of strong soloists. To bring true Russian classicism to the production, Mariinsky principals Kimin Kim and Renata Shakirova return to dazzle the audience."
