Within unusually short periods, Ballet Manila successively stages high quality — often, top quality — spectacles. This fact defies comprehension, credence and even logic, particularly because the company rehearses a huge cast of children and adults for each concert.

The thrill of going to the ballet lies in seeing memorable scenes of graceful ballerinas twirling like tops and leaping in the air.

Think of the lake of swans in Swan Lake, the forest of Willis in Giselle, the snowflakes in The Nutcracker, and the kingdom of shades in La Bayadere.

The exquisitely lyrical score of Minkus provided Petipa with ample opportunity for rich, beautiful, elegant choreography which the Russian Anatoly Panasyukov, currently PBT’s ballet master, admirably restaged, with Gener Caringal giving meticulous attention to details as artistic director.
