“No we're not expecting anybody from abroad this season, we have 5 principles dancers in the company
and so many capable soloists to dance the classic Giselle, the sleeping beauty,
we are doing an original Filipino ballet on the 25th season,” Macuja
said during its media launch last July 15 at S Maison Hall of Conrad Hotel.
The season will start with Snow White on September 7 and 8,
followed by the romantic ballet Giselle on October 19 and 20, and the yearend
show Sleeping Beauty on December 7 and 8 all this 2019, and two opera ballet
Carmina Burana and La Traviata are set on Feb 29 and March 1, 2020.
Carmina Burana (Erickson Dela Cruz)
“The most challenging ballet in On Pointe for me as a choreographer is not sleeping beauty, but La Traviata because for the first time I’m tackling tragedy, gone are the times I want to be funny now it’s like
super serious, there she dies, there is betrayal, there is a passion, there’s
lust, greed all the different human emotions,” Macuja explains.

This is the first time that Ballet Manila is doing the full length
of Sleeping Beauty, the piece is a three hour and half-hour long, but Macuja
did some adjustments, cut and update it to cater for the millennial crowd, and
of course, she wants a Dragon on stage.
All of On Pointe performances are staged at the Aliw Theater,
