‘Belen’ returns to Star City

Circus D’Ballet – a unique extravaganza combining circus acts and ballet – brings back the Christmas tale “Belen” to regale Star City visitors this holiday season.

Presented by Star City, Ballet Manila, and Manila Broadcasting Company (MBC), “Belen” is a free show offered to Star City guests. Admission is on a first-come-first-served basis.

Choreographed and directed by Ballet Manila co-artistic director Osias Barroso, “Belen” re-imagines the fabled journey of the three Kings in search of the Child Jesus.

“Belen,” which was staged last Dec. 23, will also be presented tonight at 7, on Jan. 1 (7 and 9 p.m.) and Jan. 2 (7 p.m.)

Circus D’Ballet, a creative collaboration between circus artists and ballet dancers, was the brainchild of MBC chairman Fred J. Elizalde. It was launched in 2001 featuring “Belen” at the theme park’s then newly inaugurated Star Theater.
