CCP at 40. midlife... all the sounds from the pavement




amidst wednesday traffic, we weed our way to the cultural center of the philippines. celebrating its 40th anniversary, the CCP reveals its plans for 2009. fantastic offerings!
lunch was elegantly simple, a dark artistic intimate affair onstage at the CCP. it was a pleasure to see tess rances and nes jardin after 7 awfully long years. saw mavic of ballet philippines. ibarra mateo (blast from my UP-louie beltran past) and michelle logarta from my award-winning history 100 class.
the CCP presented the press with previews of what the year had in store - one of my fave opera pieces "o mio babbino caro" by soprano camille lopez-molina, a dance the devil would envy from rhosam prudenciano, jr, and a live performance from leo valdez.
whoaaahh! what a week. another perk that comes with the job. i ain't complainin'!
