BALLET meets drama meets orchestral music as Ballet Philippines (BP), Repertory Philippines (REP), and the Manila Symphony Orchestra (MSO) collaborate for a kid-friendly season opener: Peter and the Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood.

Blending ballet, drama, and the orchestra in a twin bill

It will be the first time in Philippine performing arts history that these three cultural institutions are joining forces. They are bringing to life a twin bill made up of Peter and the Wolf, a symphonic tale for children, and Little Red Riding Hood, a full-length ballet.

Throughout the performance, live orchestral music will be provided by the MSO, with the full orchestra remaining onstage for the entire show.

The dream of this kind of joint effort has been a long time coming. “This is what I call ‘ambitious.’ Back in 2021, we were targeting to present a bigger play, but it never happened. But it never stopped us from dreaming,” said BP President Kathleen Liechtenstein at the press conference on July 1.
