La Sylphide ushers in the new season a romance ballet that hinges on elements of magic and the other world. Director Mikhail ‘Misha’ Martynyuk spoke during the press launch and lauded the dancers for taking on this most physically demanding of ballets. He also hinted about a distinctive Filipino twist on this romance classic. The Ballet Philippines rendition will weave in Filipino romanticism and mysticism to the ballet’s original narrative, blending enchantment with everyday life.
With Peter Pan, BP President MayMay was proud to say this version would be very different from the Disney adaptation of the J.M. Barrie story we’re familiar with. This ballet would be more true to the original material, highlighting the Lost Boys and the notion of not wanting to grow up… or old.
