Noli Me Tángere, also known as Noli Me Tángere: The Musical, is a Filipino musical based on José Rizal's novel of the same name, with music by Ryan Cayabyab and libretto by Bienvenido Lumbera.[1] Directed by Nonon Padilla, the musical premiered in 1995 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) in Manila.[2]
The musical was produced after the success of Cayabyab's previous Rizal musical adaptation, El filibusterismo (1993).[3] Since its original production, Noli Me Tángere has been restaged multiple times, including a production in 2011 which was held to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Rizal's birth.[4][1][2][5]
