The 2020 production of Ballet Manila’s Sleeping Beauty, choreographed by the company’s CEO and Artistic Director Lisa Macuja Elizalde, is now streaming online.
The production is only one of three full-length productions (the other two being Cinderella and Snow White) choreographed by Macuja Elizade that have been made available online in celebration of yesterday’s World Ballet Day. They are available to watch only until October 31, 2021.
This production was recorded from the January 18, 2020, 6pm performance of Sleeping Beauty at the Newport Performing Arts Theater of Resorts World Manila. The company had to perform in this venue instead of their usual home venue at the Aliw Theater due to the devastating fire that hit the Star City Complex last October 2, 2019.
