Original Philippine Opera
The mid-19th century marked the advent of foreign opera presentations in the
theaters of Manila. The opera not only served as a novel form of entertainment for
Filipinos, but also as an avenue for the honing and development of Filipino musical
skills, through their exposure and occasional participation as musicians in these
opera productions. Thus by the early 20th century, the Philippines was able to
produce its first opera. Sangdugong Panaguinip is the first Philippine opera in the
Tagalog language. It was composed by Ladislao Bonus who is dubbed as the
“Father of Philippine Opera.” The one-act opera with five scenes was based on the
Spanish libretto La Alianza Soñada by Pedro Paterno which was translated into
Tagalog by novelist and dramatist, Roman G. Reyes.

La Loba Negra
La Loba Negra (The Black She-wolf) is an opera in 3 acts by Francisco Feliciano with
libretto by Fides Cuyugan-Asensio. The opera was based on a novel attributed to
Jose Burgos. The opera tells of the story of the Governor-General Francisco
Bustamante and his subsequent assassination and the revenge of his wife Luisa,
now called La Loba Negra, after the death of her husband.
