Laura Brasó, Madalena Oliveira Martins, Ester Ferraro, Sehyun Kyung, and Jamal Al Titi return to portuguese stages on November 14 and 15 for two concerts as part of partnerships that extend the professional opportunities provided by the competition.
On November 14, at 5:00 p.m., Spanish soprano Laura Brasó will perform at the Senhora da Boa Nova Auditorium in Estoril, accompanied by the Cascais and Oeiras Chamber Orchestra. The singer returns to Portugal to fulfill the prize she won in the 2025 edition of Cascais Opera: a contract to perform with this ensemble.
The following day, November 15, at 6:00 p.m., it will be the turn of Madalena Oliveira Martins (soprano), Ester Ferraro (mezzo-soprano), Sehyun Kyung (tenor), and Jamal Al Titi (baritone) to come together for the concert “A Night at the Opera” at the Casa de Cultura Jaime Lobo e Silva in Ericeira, as part of the 10th Mafra Music Festival “Filipe de Sousa.”
Accompanied on piano by Francisco Sassetti and with stage direction by David Santos, the four singers will present a program featuring some of the most iconic pieces from the operatic repertoire, including works by Mozart, Gounod, Massenet, Tchaikovsky, Offenbach, Puccini, and Verdi.
The concert is the result of a partnership between Cascais Ópera and the Mafra Music Festival, made possible by a prize awarded in the 2025 edition of the competition by Adriano Jordão, artistic director of both cultural projects.
