of his life. Modern productions 1971 This is the first stage performance of the work after the 2nd World War. This revival production was staged at the Main Theater of the Cultural Center of the Philippines in 1971. As the original music didn't survive, Dr. Herminio Velarde Jr. made a team to research and reconstruct Tolentino's original music by conducting field research, interviewing people who saw the original productions of the sarsuwela. Composers Mike Velarde Jr., and Constancio de Guzman were commissioned to write newly original music as well. The resulting music made from this production was subsequently published and is the music played by subsequent productions today. 1991 The work was staged in 1991 by the Tanghalang Pilipino directed by Dennis Faustino with music played by the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Chino Toledo.
