Proud na ipinagmalaki ng BM Artistic Director na si Lisa Macuja ang kanilang performance line-up ngayong taon. Sinabi rin ni Lisa na sana ay mabigyan din ng priority ng bagong gobyerno ang perrorming arts.'I think all artists naman would really wish for strong support from the government—the Philippine artists and Philippine art scene. After the Marcos administration we have suffered a lot from neglect.'Kung mabibigyan ng sapat na pondo at training ang Pinoy artists, kayang kaya daw natin makipagsabayan sa ibang bansa.'It’s time now na bigyan na ng pansin our work. This [is] non-stop. Our artists—even with the change of government—did not stop our lives. We’re dedicated to what we are very passionate about.'Karaniwan na rin daw problema ang paghingi ng libreng tickets. Sana daw at magsimula ang suporta ng bawat isa sa performing arts.'Let’s start the support within ourselves and let’s start the support by getting for our tickets, paying for our tickets and enjoying the performance.'Ang original ballet na EDSA 30 ang unang Ballet Manila production para sa 2016 season at magsisimulang mapanood sa August19 sa Aliw Theater ng Star City.
