Thanks to Lorna (The Bachelor Girl) and to Ms. Karla Gutierrez for allowing us to sit through the first full rehearsal of La Boheme at the CCP last night.  Thanks too to Direk Floy Quintos for entertaining our questions.

Even just based on the incomplete production we saw yesterday, the opera is a must-see!

I'll have a lengthier post (with more pics and teaser clips) up by tomorrow morning.

Support theater in the Philippines and watch La Boheme!  Shows are at 8pm on October 3 (FRI) and October 4 (SAT),  According to Ticketworld, however, the last show (Oct.5, 3pm) is already sold out.  Anton Diaz of Our Awesome Planet has a comprehensive post about the production and has the ticket prices as well.  According to his entry, students get a 50% discount for Balcony I and II seats, so nood na!


Here are some pics to excite the Rentheads out there.









*Music playing is Quando me'n vo (Musetta's Waltz) and Mimi's death scene from the 1948 NY Metropolitan Opera House staging, and the end of Your Eyes from the RENT OBC Recording.
