Cinema Paradiso Al Fresco at MiraNila: A Concert and Outdoor Film Screening in Manila this February 2026

-

Anyone searching for a unique February 2026 event in Manila will find something remarkable at MiraNila Heritage House. On February 5, 2026, the historic 1929 home in Cubao opens its gates for Cinema Paradiso Al Fresco, a one-night blend of live music, heritage tours, and an outdoor film screening that feels crafted for those who want culture presented with intimacy and intention.

Stepping into MiraNila already feels like entering a preserved chapter of Manila’s past. Guests begin the evening with a guided heritage house tour, moving through rooms that hold nearly a century of stories. This gentle immersion sets up the mood for the night, grounding visitors before the music and film unfold on the front lawn.

The concert itself features two celebrated international artists. Violinist Alessio Benvenuti, widely recognized for his national and international impact, performs alongside pianist Mariel Ilusorio, an artist whose work has reached audiences across four continents. Their program centers on the iconic music of Ennio and Andrea Morricone from Cinema Paradiso, one of the most beloved films in world cinema and a title that continues to top lists of classic movies to watch in Manila.

Once the final note lands, the lawn transforms into an open-air cinema in Quezon City, presenting Cinema Paradiso in a setting that deepens the emotional resonance of the film. The story’s themes of memory, childhood, and the magic of the silver screen feel even stronger under real stars. After the movie, director Giuseppe Tornatore will appear on screen to address the MiraNila audience, giving this Manila film event an added layer of connection rarely offered in traditional screenings.

The evening also includes food options such as pasta stations, snack tables, and cold drinks. Guests may book VIP antipasti and cocktails before the concert or a VIP dinner after the screening through the Nest by the Sea online shop.
