Sabel comes to life in an art form as brilliantly crazed as the muse's depiction in the works of National Artist BenCab. For Sabel, Love and Passion, distinguished director Louie Ocampo conducts "a poem, a musical, a ballet happening all at the same time." None other than the beguiling Iza Calzado narrates the unfolding drama of beauty and brokenness, portrayed in dance and dialogue throughout this unprecedented musical performance that debuts at The Theatre at Solaire on April 30.

Sabel, Love and Passion opens to the public on the weekend of June 26 and 27 at the Music Museum. Admirers of Audie Gemora, the King of Musical Theatre himself; Iza Calzado; and the Philippine Ballet Theatre will be thrilled to witness this collaboration that took nearly a decade to produce. Now, the ripening of Ocampo, Gemora, and Rico Hizon's efforts comes to fruition in time for BenCab's 50th year celebration.
