Dec 23 Christmas In Our Hearts

This holiday season, Ballet Manila greets everyone in the most joyful way with a song of hope from our beloved artistic director, Lisa Macuja-Elizalde, and pop music icon Jose Mari Chan. The ballerina and balladeer get to sing a duet together for the first time, interpreting the latter's popular tune, Christmas in Our Hearts, in the former's Art 2 Art program.

Merry Christmas!
