Enter the ethereal space of Shades: Ballet Manila concludes PRIMA season with La Bayadere

-

A temple dancer’s devotion. A warrior’s divided heart. A priest’s consuming desire. Their story moves between passion and betrayal, life and afterlife. This August, Ballet Manila brings its PRIMA Season to a grand conclusion with the rare full-length staging of Marius Petipa’s timeless classic, La Bayadère, at the Aliw Theater on August 14 at 8 :00 p.m., and August 15 and 16 at 5:00 p.m. Set against the backdrop of ancient India, La Bayadère tells the story of Nikiya, a temple dancer bound by love, and Solor, the warrior torn between passion and duty. Their fates intertwine with Gamzatti, the rajah’s daughter, and the High Brahmin, whose desires ignite betrayal and tragedy. The ballet unfolds across opulent courts and sacred temples before dissolving into the ethereal Kingdom of the Shades. 3 Ballet Manila CEO and artistic director Lisa Macuja-Elizalde This year marks the 40th anniversary of the return of Ballet Manila founder and artistic director, Lisa Macuja Elizalde to the Phili...

  MANILA, Philippines, 29 July 2026 — Customers continue to be the transformation driver for SM Supermalls. Following undisrupted foot traffic and positive business performance in the first half of 2026, the mall operating arm of SM Prime Holdings Inc. has noted three key factors that maintained market interest despite scaled consumption patterns earlier in the year. "Filipinos kept showing up for family, passions, and the moments that matter," said Steven Tan, President of SM Supermalls. "SM remained a trusted constant, creating more ways to celebrate, connect, play, and discover, while evolving alongside how Filipinos now live.
