The Manila Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) is perhaps the most visible among the country’s major orchestras. It performs an average of 200 shows a year, and is the resident orchestra in musical productions at Resorts World Manila.

The production, copresented with Globe Live, finally opens Aug. 3 at the Maybank Performing Arts Theater, Bonifacio Global City.
