Ballet Manila brings back 'Snow White' this December

Ballet Manila continues its cherished Holiday Cheer Series with the timeless story of “Snow White,” running from 25 to 29 December 2025 at the Aliw Theater in Pasay City. The family program, launched in 2022, has become a much-anticipated holiday tradition that celebrates love, resilience, and the joy of coming together through ballet.

For Ballet Manila CEO and artistic director Lisa Macuja Elizalde, who also choreographed “Snow White,” the series keeps the company’s mission of bringing ballet closer to Filipino families. “Holiday Cheer Series is our way of bringing people together through ballet,” she said. “These productions are not only about artistry, but about using ballet to tell stories that parents and children can enjoy together, year after year.”

This year’s “Snow White” features two alternating casts for the first time. Real-life couple Abigail Oliveiro and Mark Sumaylo bring their chemistry to the stage, while Nanami Hasegawa and Romeo Peralta present a new partnership that reflects the production’s spirit of renewal and discovery. With its engaging choreography and colorful storytelling, Ballet Manila invites audiences to celebrate the season with “Snow White” at the Aliw Theater from 25 to 29 December 2025 at 4 p.m.
