Learner’s Tasks

Lesson Overview
Philippine Opera

Opera. An art and music form in which singers and musicians perform a
dramatic work combining text (called a libretto) and a musical score, usually
in an elaborate theatrical setting (opera house). Dialogue is entirely sung and
not spoken.
Philippine Opera started in the Philippines during the 19th Century when
Instrumental virtuosos, opera singers, and Spanish zarzuela performers came.
The element of tragedy, emanating from the popular themes of romance,
deceit, murder, vendetta, and other elements of human frailty, became a
favorite story pattern of the Filipino opera.

Philippine Local Theaters

- Principe Alfonso
- Variedades

Sandugong Panaginip is said to be the first Filipino opera by Pedro

Paterno, a poet, novelist, musician, and government official. This was first
presented at the Zorilla Theater on August 2, 1902. It was later translated by
the Englishman M.W. Loving with the title The Dreamed Alliance.

 Original Filipino Operas

La Loba Negra (The Black She-Wolf) is a three-act Filipino opera. Acts I

and II are based on history. Act III is based on a legend attributed to Fr. Jose
Burgos, one of the three martyred priests Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora who
were executed in Bagumbayan (now Luneta) in 1872. The music was
composed by National Artist Francisco Feliciano, with libretto by soprano Fides
Cuyugan Asensio. The premiere was held in 1984 with National Artist for Theater
and Film Lamberto Avellana as director.

The three-act opera Noli Me Tangere was composed by National Artist

Felipe Padilla de Leon, with libretto by National Artist Guillermo Tolentino. It
premiered in 1957 at the FEU Auditorium. The cast included Juanita Javier
Torres as Maria Clara, Don David as Ibarra, Fides Cuyugan Asensio as Sisa, Milo
Cristobal as Padre Damaso, and Morli Daram as the director. There were
several other productions that followed the premiere production.

El Filibusterismo is a novel by Dr. Jose Rizal, a sequel to the earlier Noli Me

Tangere. It was written four years later. It tells of the continuing struggle of the
Filipinos to achieve freedom and emancipation from Spanish colonial rule. The
opera El Filibusterismo was composed by National Artist Felipe Padilla de Leon
in 1970, with libretto by Anthony Morli. It was in three acts and written in
Tagalog.

Philippine Ballet
Ballet. This dance form has been used to interpret stories of all kinds. It
does so by allowing the characters to come alive, not in spoken dialogue but
in body movements or pantomime. Creative steps, arm gestures, facial
expressions, and body movements are the dancers’ ways to express the
meaning of the story being revealed.

Philippine Ballet presents folktales based on local fables for example,

Lola Basyang as well as epics from neighboring regions, such as India’s
Ramayana. Highly communicative movements and steps dramatize the
actions in the respective stories.

Ballet music is basically a musical composition that is meant for a ballet

performance. As ballet music progressed, classical music composers who had
only composed symphonies began to compose full ballets. Tchaikovsky was
one of the first classical music composers who began to write ballet music.

The Filipino Ballet vividly presents folktales based on fables (example,

Lola Basyang and epics from the neighboring regions (example, India’s
Ramayana). Highly communicative movements and steps dramatize the
actions in the respective stories, the colourful sets and costumes add to the
luster and attraction of the productions. Although not as extensively explored
as the other performing genres for local adaptation.

Lola Basyang is a ballet adaptation of Severino Reyes’ folktales Mga

Kuwento ni Lola Basyang. It was meant to instill and rekindle the interest of
the Filipino youth in the beauty, richness, and heritage of Philippine literature.

repeatedly, the new generation will start to appreciate the music used
in Philippine Opera and Philippine Ballet. Another great way to learn
about and appreciate different styles of music is to listen to something
completely outside your normal listening range. While this can be
shaking, it can help broaden your understanding of what's out there.
