Tanghalang Pilipino is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year and they opened the season with “Noli Me Tangere: The Musical” as a tribute to the national hero Jose Rizal's 150th birth anniversary. Click here to read post about the theatre production and the gala event.
Showcased are specially designed Rizal and Noli Me Tangere-inspired jewelries by renowned jeweler Hans Brumann, who donated four charm bracelets, which he crafted himself, for a fund-raising silent auction for the benefit of Tanghalang Pilipino. These bracelets are made of a combination of pearls and either silver or 14k gold chains with charms inspired by Jose Rizal's famous novel. Click here to view close-ups of the bracelets.
If you’d like to bid for any of the charm bracelets, visit the online auction or visit the exhibit at the CCP to fill out a form. Winners of the Jewelry Auction will be announced on August 27, 2011 at 7:00 pm at the CCP Little Theater Lobby. Winners will be informed via e-mail and letter in advance by Tanghalang Pilipino and are requested to claim their bracelets on the night of the official announcement.
