From August 1-3, 2025, Ballet Philippines, Repertory Philippines, and the Manila Symphony Orchestra unite for a family-friendly double bill at The Theatre at Solaire.

In a feature by Broadway World, Gilbert Kim Sancha highlights a major cultural milestone as three of the Philippines’ premier performing arts institutions—Ballet Philippines (BP), Repertory Philippines (REP), and the Manila Symphony Orchestra (MSO)—join forces for an extraordinary season opener.
Marking its 56th season, Ballet Philippines presents a world-class double bill featuring Peter and the Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood from August 1 to 3, 2025, at The Theatre at Solaire. This first-time collaboration brings music, dance, and drama together on one stage for five performances aimed at delighting audiences of all ages.
Peter and the Wolf, composed by Sergei Prokofiev, uses different instruments to represent each character—offering a fun and educational introduction to symphonic music for younger audiences. Meanwhile, Little Red Riding Hood reimagines the beloved fairy tale with a lighthearted tone, brought to life through expressive choreography and set to the music of Camille Saint-Saëns and Edvard Grieg.
Beyond its artistic ambition, the production also serves as a meaningful outreach initiative. Families from selected barangays will be invited to watch for free, helping expand access to the transformative power of the performing arts. Ticket sales from the general public will help support future outreach efforts.
With theatrical storytelling from REP, dynamic choreography from BP, and a live musical score by the MSO, the production is designed to entertain, educate, and inspire—a celebration of collaboration and creativity.
