LOS ANGELES—She has long made her mark as an international artist. Still, it was as if she had captivated a whole new world.
Lea Salonga earned a standing ovation at the end of her historic concert on Friday evening at Los Angeles’ iconic architectural landmark and world-class performing arts venue, the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
A sold-out crowd cheered Salonga as she became the first Filipino performer to have a solo show at architect Frank Gehry’s billowing steel-clad masterpiece.
Through Salonga’s crystal-clear voice, Filipino lyrics of such OPM standards like “Hahanapin Ko” by Jimmy Santiago (music by Jose Mari Chan); “Sana Maulit Muli” by Gary and Angeli Valenciano; and “Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal” by Alex Malilin reverberated inside the beautiful wood-paneled hall.
The normally staid venue—home of the world-renowned Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra—came to life as the mostly Filipino audience, encouraged by Salonga, sang along to the Filipino songs.
Salonga’s rendition of songs that have distinguished her multi-awarded career, including “Reflection,” “I’d Give My Life For You,” “On My Own” and “I Dreamed a Dream,” earned thunderous applause
