‘Straight Up’ party

A night with Il Divo

Straight Up, Bonifacio Global City’s highest roof deck bar at Seda BGC hotel, turned a year old with a cocktail bash that saw frequent patrons, hotel clients, media friends and other guests enjoying exquisite food, non- stop drinks and fabulous music from dusk to dawn!

Seda hotels’ group general manager Andrea Mastellone was very happy with the party set. The place was packed from the main bar indoors to the al fresco area, boasting of a stunning view of the city. Straight Up’s resident musical consultant Cocoy Puyat invited guest spinners and entertainers to keep the crowd pumped up with their interpretation of Straight Up’s signature 21st- century Lounge Music. (Straight Up is on 30th Street corner 11th Avenue, Bonifacio Global City,

Taguig City. For more information, call 945- 8888 or 588-5700.)

Operatic-pop quartet Il Divo, together with Lea Salonga, enchanted anew their Filipino fans when they recently performed some of the most beloved musical soundtracks in their one-night-only concert at the Newport Performing Arts Theater at Resorts World Manila (RWM).

The sold-out concert was part of Il Divo’s A Musical Affair world tour, in celebration of their 10th anniversary in the music industry. The ABS- CBN Philharmonic Orchestra provided the musical score for the world tour’s Philippines leg.

Il Divo’s A Musical Affair capped off RWM’s Imperial Festival 2014, which celebrated the prosperous dawn of the Chinese New Year.

This summer, RWM continues to bring world- class thrills with an Epic Summer 2014 party highlighted by another international act, American alternative rockers Vertical Horizon.
