DESCRIPTION:

RAMA, HARI, the highly-acclaimed Filipino rock opera ballet, returns to the stage this September. The production holds the prestige of being the only collaboration that features the masterful works of five National Artists, Alice Reyes for Direction and Choreography, Ryan Cayabyab for Music, Salvador Bernal for Production Design, and Bienvenido Lumbera for the lyrics and libretto with English Translations by Rolando Tinio.

Presented by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, in partnership with the Metropolitan Theater, the Cultural Center of the Philippines, and with the generous support of Birch Tree, the production features Musical Theater Stars Karylle Tatlonghari, Arman Ferrer, Shiela Valderrama-Martinez, Audie Gemora, Poppert Bernadas, with Vien King, and Nica Tupas, in the lead roles. It also features The Orchestra of the Filipino Youth, the Ryan Cayabyab Singers, the artists of the Professional Artist Support Program (PASP), and Alice Reyes Dance Philippines (ARDP).

Inspired by the ancient Sanskrit epic, Ramayana, the ballet tells of the adventures of Rama, prince and incarnation of the god Vishnu, who comes down to earth to save the world from Ravana, the most powerful of demons and in time falls in love with Sita, daughter of the king of Mithila, Janaka, and eventually marries her. The evil Ravana attempts to tear the two apart only to find himself defeated and his demonic plans thwarted.
