ACROSS AMERICA
MANILA– Noli Me Tan-
gere: The Opera, received rave
reviews from the critics of
the United States top national
broadsheet Washington Post.
The first Filipino opera to
be staged in the U.S. capital
-
niscent of Mozart, Rossini,
Puccini and Wagner under
conductor Benjamin Dia’s
baton,” when it was staged for
two historic nights August 8
and 9, 2014at the prestigious
Kennedy Center in Washing-
ton D.C..
The production was able
to bring together “a cast that
performed proudly and con-
veyed a love for libretto and
music,” said reporter Grace
Jean in the August 10 issue of
the top U.S. broadsheet.
Directed by Anna Etsuko
Tsuri, produced by Jerry Sibal
and Edwin Josue, and pre-
sented by the Mid-Atlantic
Foundation for Asian Artists,
Noli Me Tangere: The Opera
ultimately tells the story of a
freedom.
Sal Malaki, who is one of
the most seasoned artists of the
Los Angeles Opera Company,
reprised his role as Crisostomo
Ibarra and according to The
Post, “anchored the opera and
sent it soaring with his golden
tenor and expressive singing.”
Meanwhile, Brittany Palmer,
who played Ibarra’s beloved
Maria Clara, “performed with
vocal clarity and fragile stage
presence befitting a tragic
heroine.”
The rest of the main cast
– Roberto Perlas Gomez as
Elias, Antoni Mendezona as
Sisa – were likewise praised
for their performances.
“Baritone Roberto Perlas
Gomez’s Elias embodied brav-
ery and righteousness, while
Antoni Mendezona turned
in a captivating performance
as Sisa, the mother of two
boys, Basilio and Crispin,
who disappear, prompting her
derangement. Mendezona’s
coloratura dazzled and pulled
heartstrings during her lament
in the woods,” said Jean.
In September 2014, Phil-
ippine audiences will have the
the beauty and splendor of Jose
Rizal’s 19th
Century novel as a
grand opera production to be
directed by acclaimed theater
director Freddie Santos.
The Manila production
of Noli Me Tangere: The Op-
era will be headlined by two
world-class talents—Sal Mal-
aki, as Crisostomo Ibarra, the
liberal-minded, outspoken and
idealistic youth whose eyes
were opened to the harsh real-
ity of revolution, and Rachelle
Gerodias, as Maria Clara, Ibar-
ra’s sweetheart whose birth is
a crucial part of the narrative.
Gerodias received her
Master’s Degree in Vocal
Performance and Vocal Litera-
ture from the famed Eastman
School of Music, in New York
and graduated Cum Laude
from the University of Santo
Tomas Conservatory of Music.
She is also an awardee of “The
OutstandingWomen in the Na-
tion’s Service”.
Malaki is one of the most
seasoned artists of the LosAn-
geles Opera Company, housed
under the general direction
of world-renowned tenor and
conductor, Maestro Placido
Domingo. He has performed
in more than 105 Los Angeles
Opera productions—a very
rare feat, which he achieved
since joining the company in
1995. Despite having, per-
formed in virtually every opera
masterpiece created in his 19
consecutive seasons with the
company, Malaki feels very
excited for the Noli.
Spearheaded by philan-
thropist Loida Nicolas Lewis
and supported by Jerry Sibal
(Executive Producer), Ed-
win Josue (Assistant Execu-
tive Producer) and, Mark and
Christine Manalang (Ultimate
Shows, Inc.), Noli Me Tan-
gere: The Opera will run for a
limited time from September
12 to September 28 (Septem-
ber 11 Gala Night) at the New-
port Performing Arts Theater,
Resorts World Manila.
“I truly encourage our
fellow Filipinos to see the
Opera not just for them-
selves, but also to spon-
sor shows and subsidize
students. Seeing the opera
will enhance their love for
the art, literature and coun-
try. This is truly once in a
lifetime because they may
not see Felipe de Leon’s
Noli Opera again since the
last time it was presented
was 27 years ago, in 1987.”
said Lewis. “In addition,
they would be exposed to
Opera akin to what they
would experience in New
York’s Metropolitan Op-
era. Lastly, they will see
an aspect of our past in a
beautiful art form of opera.
Remember the saying “Ang
hindi maraming lumingon sa
pinangalingan, hindi maka-
karating sa paroroonan.”

we will at the next university.
Right now, for me, it’s social
science.
My dear Class of 2014,
we are, at this time, on this
day, passing that stage of mun-
danity. We have survived the
awkwardness of making new
friends out of strangers during
our freshman year, the bicker-
ing over Culture Day during
our sophomore year, junior
year’s tedious course-load and
cramming over the SAT’s and
ACT’s, and the academic and
emotional stress brought on
by all the challenges we faced
during our senior year.
We are done with what
some of us might call “aca-
demic hazing.” We have been
conditioned to deal with these
challenges and the challenges
ahead. We are now set for the
next stage of our academic
career—the real university.
No… There will still be
academic and social obstacles
that we will need to overcome.
There will still be sleepless
nights over assignments due
the next day, or unforgettable
heartaches, such as—I don’t
know… Getting dumped by
the person we thought was “the
one.” But it will be a different
experience because there’s this
thing that wasn’t always there
in high school—the freedom to
choose the academic path that
we genuinely enjoy.
Now that we are off to our
next journey, we are given the
freedom to choose what we
want to do in life. Some of us
between a high-paying career
path and the path that truly
matters to us.
I like to think that the
whole point in Mr. Cobane’s
question and the enthusiasm
and encouragement behind
his response is to subliminally
hint that we should always fol-
low our dreams.
Friends, now that we are
abouttopartways,Ijustwanted
to share this meaningful lesson
to you all. Don’t choose the
path that makes the most mon-
ey. Choose the path that truly
makes you happy, ‘cause life
is too short to spend your time
doingmundanethings.Besides,
an education without dancing is
an education not worth having.
With that said, I wish you
all the best of luck and may the
Universe and Her stars bring
you good fortune.
Thank you.
