‘The Forbidden Concert: AnneKapal’ in Cebu

CEBU, Philippines - Two years after her hugely successful concert, “Annebisyosa No Other Concert,” Anne Curtis is poised to once again rock the Pacific Grand Ballroom of Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino with “The Forbidden Concert: AnneKapal” this October 4.

This time, the actress/TV host/celebrity endorser will be back on stage more determined than ever to sing her heart out to her fans. Anne has never disguised her ambition to make it big as a concert artist. “Annebisyosa” was a big gamble for her. Many doubted if she got what it takes to hit it off as a singer. But the criticisms only fueled Anne’s determination.

“Annebisyosa” was actually the title of her first album. Released in 2011 under Viva Records, it was a surprise hit, selling 10,000 copies. It then went on to achieve platinum status. But Anne felt singing live in concert was the true test for a singer. So she decided to perform at the Smart Araneta. “Annebisyosa” turned out to be a monster hit. The Big Dome was packed to the rafters. Anne was on her way to being a singing star.

For “AnneKapal,” Anne is leaving nothing to chance. She has been rehearsing religiously and is hands-on in every aspect of the production. But the October 4 concert is just one of the many projects lined up for the Viva Artist Agency superstar. A new album is in the works, and there are two movie projects in the pipeline.

Anne is also being kept busy by her numerous endorsements. Her face graces giant billboards as she promotes products ranging from condominiums to cosmetics.

Her movie “The Gifted” reunited her with her co-star in “No Other Woman” and Viva talent Cristine Reyes.

“The Forbidden Concert: AnneKapal” is presented by Smart. The co-presentors are Cherry Mobile, Enervon, Century Tuna and Adcons. Major sponsors are Nature’s Spring Water, Efficascent Oil, Bioderm, Casino Femme, Lecit-E, Waterfront, PAGCOR. The event is also brought about by LIV SUPERCLUB and Pino Restaurant.

Media Partners are Sunstar Cebu, The Freeman, Magic 92.3 FM, WROCK 96.3 FM, Natural 106.7 FM, and Love radio 97.9 FM.

“The Forbidden Concert: AnneKapal” is directed by Georcelle Dapat-Sy and Marvin Querido with special guest Top Suzara of FreeStyle and a surprise guest!
