JAKARTA – Maudy Koesnaedi returns to the spotlight in the new musical drama titled Sayap Cinta Habibie & Ainun, a legendary romance of the late former president Habibie and his wife Ainun. She brings the character of Habibie’s mother, Tuti Mariani Puspowardojo, back to life on stage. However, this production demands more than just her acting skills. She performs vocal numbers for the first time despite her initial lack of confidence in singing. She attends intensive vocal rehearsals to prepare her voice for the live performance.
Movement and Chemistry on Stage
The veteran actress also performs complex choreography alongside the rest of the cast. These new requirements pose a significant challenge for her, yet she finds joy in every step of the journey. She especially enjoys the rehearsal process because it builds strong chemistry among the team. Maudy values the bond she creates with her coaches and fellow actors during these sessions. This collaborative environment makes the difficult training sessions feel much more rewarding.
Maudy conducts thorough research to portray the role accurately. She talks directly to Satria Habibie, the grandson of Habibie, to gather personal family details. She seeks these insights because public information about the character remains quite limited. Additionally, she watches previous Habibie & Ainun films to study earlier portrayals of the role. This careful preparation ensures a respectful and deep performance for the upcoming show.
The Legacy Continues at Taman Ismail Marzuki
This musical drama revives the famous love story of Habibie and Ainun for a new medium. Many people remember the story from the successful film sequels starring Reza Rahadian. In this stage version, Mikail Edwin Rizki plays Habibie while Dhea Seto takes the role of Ainun. Fans can watch this grand production at Taman Ismail Marzuki on Friday, May 8, 2026. The show promises to bring a fresh and melodic perspective to a beloved national history.
