Solaire Resort's The Theatre is now open!

I was privileged to experience the newest entertainment home for performing artists all over the world. Solaire Resort's The Theater which opened last night makes its mark in the entertainment industry and it is definitely an awesome feeling while inside it.

Last night's opening was a blast, combining all great theater and musical artists in one roof. The wonderful productions started by Audie Gemora opened our eyes for big things unfolding.

The Theater is equipped with state-of-the-art sound system called Constellation which is best recommended by sound and music master, Gerard Salonga to give the audience a whole new musical experience. Maestro Ryan Cayabyab also is fascinated with The Theatre's rehearsal studio where he can find focus for his masterpieces. For Ms. World Philippines 2014 Valerie Weigmann, artists would definitely appreciate the changing process with The Theatre's spacious dressers. For actress Mitch Valdez, the 1,760-seater facility gives all the best seats in place. For me, reclining in The Theatre's seats is also a huge factor for people to see great shows and relax on the comfortable foam.

The Theatre also proves its versatility as a venue with numerous type of performances that can be done in it. The musicales and concerts are the best to experience with the great acoustics and the Constellation system that goes with it. You can really tell the difference with only one click of the button from the control room. It was surreal.

The star-studded opening night featured OPM artists, theater personalities, and dancers collaborating for an amazing show. We've got the Philippine Opera Company, Prima Ballerina Lisa Macuja-Elizalde, Robert Sena, Isay Alvarez, Karylle, Aicelle Santos, the Ryan Cayabyab Singers, Manoeuvres, The Theatre Ensemble, Sam Concepcion, Regine Tolentino, Ednah Ledesma, Morrisette Amon, Christian Bautista, and Yeng Constantino. Solaire's LED background give more vibrance to the performances and everyone was in awe in the productions. It's very touching that our Filipino artists perform first in this amazing place.

Martin and Gary made music As 1

it's a Philippine music history as two rivals create music together in one stage. Gary Valenciano and Martin Nievera who are often compared to each other shared the big concert grounds of SM Mall of Asia on September 19 2009. quite a number of spectators and music lovers of the two guys are able to witness this historical event.

the show ran for 3 hours and everybody's attendance is very much WORTH IT! the silver and bronze areas are still okay for they provided special projection and i think this will be the cuts that will be shown on TV.

my favorite part would be their quartet with Zsazsa Padilla and Martin's ex-wife, Pops Fernandez which gave me the goosebumps. though the 2 ladies weren't at the stage per se, they rehearsed a special LCD performance that looked like an MTV. a special tribute to great artists like Michael Jackson and Frank Sinatra, the two had rearranged the songs merging the lyrics and style of both.

there's also a special appearance of their sons, Gab Valenciano and Ram Nievera giving a rock I Gotta Feeling by BEP.

with regards to Gary V's music, he never fails to give praises to God with his inspirational songs. Martin Nievera's signature sponsored songs was also performed. the two, of course, gave to our requests of capturing our hearts with songs like, Be My Lady and Warrior is A Child which are their top songs at each of everyone's minds. one segment brought everyone as they blasted everyone with the theme songs from the favorite kapamilya programs like Lobo, Sana Maulit Muli, Dahil May Isang Ikaw, Tayong Dalawa, Kahit Isang Saglit, and the latest movie, And I Love You So.

the concert ended with the As 1 song which has a special message significant for the upcoming elections.
