Meralco
Theater
For
five nights this October, Christian Bautista will push boundaries in the
concert scene as he mounts a concert celebrating his ten years in the
entertainment industry. The concert will be staged at the Meralco Theater this
October 6, 7, 12, 13, 14 at 8:00 PM. Concert
director Rowell Santiago and music director Louie Ocampo join Christian for
this concert entitled X Class.
Christian Bautista first found mainstream success via the reality talent competition Star
in a Million. While he didn’t win the top prize, he became the show’s most
successful non-winner. He has recorded seven studio albums, has penetrated the
Asian market, and has acted on stage, at television and in film. And while he
started as a singer falling under the Josh Groban mold, his music eventually
evolved and showcased his versatility and range. One can appreciate this growth
by listening to his first single The Way You Look at Me and then comparing its
sound to the more recent one like Unphotographable.

During
the recent press conference held at Cerchio Restaurant and Lounge, Christian
was asked why the concert will be at the Meralco Theater instead of the other
venues available for concerts which are considerably bigger. He responded that
the chosen venue also serves as homage to his theater roots since he had his
first professional performance at the Meralco Theater. He also said that the
theater, with all its bells and whistles can achieve things that other venues
cannot. He teased that there will be a dash of theater in the concert series
with changing sets and utilizing the latest technology. And that there will be
slight differences between the five shows so no show will be exactly the same.
In
preparation for the concert, Christian has been undergoing some martial arts
training in Muay Thai.
He said that the concert will feature video clips showing action scenes hence
the need for some physical training. He also mentioned zip lines and wires and
all other stuff that people should expect at the concert. When asked about his
guests for the upcoming concert, he replied that there will be guests but they
haven’t announced who they will be since he feels that a concert should not be
dependent on the guests. He feels that people should be watching his, or any
other artist’s concert, because of the main artist and not the guests.
Christian
had to contend with questions not related to the concert as well during the
press conference. He got continually pressed about his plans for the future particularly
the possibility of him leaving his current network for its rival. He admitted
that he is currently at the crossroads in his career and that he is putting his
trust in his management, Stages Talents, to work things out for him. He does put a lot
of trust in his management which is not surprising since he considers that
getting discovered by Carlo Orosa, who now manages him, as his greatest
achievement. And it’s because of this discovery that Christian Bautista is now
celebrating ten successful years in the entertainment industry.
