Cascais Ópera entrega donativos às associações Gaivotas da Torre e Centro Paroquial do Estoril

highlight

O Concerto Solidário de Verão reuniu no palco do Auditório da Boa Nova, duas Orquestras de jovens músicos, de Macau e do Colégio Moderno e as vencedoras do Prémio do Público RTP de 2024 e 2025, Sílvia Sequeira e Rita Coelho, num espetáculo em que a música teve um propósito maior: apoiar duas associações sociais parceiras do Cascais Ópera. 

Toda a bilheteira deste concerto reverteu a favor da Associação Gaivotas da Torre e do Centro Paroquial do Estoril. A visita de entrega dos cheques permitiu à equipa do Cascais Ópera conhecer melhor os espaços, dirigentes e utentes das duas associações, uma oportunidade para se inteirar do impacto que estas instituições têm na comunidade que as rodeia. Foram assim, reforçados os laços de colaboração e o compromisso social que o Cascais Ópera mantém com a comunidade local.

A Associação Gaivotas da Torre trabalha diariamente para valorizar a pessoa humana e a família, promovendo atividades artísticas, desportivas e educativas, e prestando apoio psicológico e social a dezenas de famílias. O Centro Paroquial do Estoril, por sua vez, é uma instituição de solidariedade social ligada à Paróquia de Santo António do Estoril, dedicada à educação, à integração e ao apoio comunitário. 

Ao longo do ano, estas instituições colaboram com os designers participativos do Cascais Ópera, reforçando o nosso projeto de transformação dos materiais de comunicação — como lonas e cartazes — em novos produtos criativos e sustentáveis e que ganham nova vida. 

Esta relação contínua traduz o compromisso social e ambiental do Cascais Ópera: unir arte, comunidade e sustentabilidade num mesmo gesto, onde a música se transforma em impacto real.

OUTROS ARTIGOS

Over the past three decades, primarily in London, Portugal and Amsterdam, Dr Jorge Balça
has developed a strong portfolio of work and a unique combination of skillsets – as a stage
director (of theatre, opera, and hybrid forms), a teacher and workshop leader, a presentation
skills, acting and creativity coach, and practice-based researcher. His work in all these
domains is distinguished by his commitment to and skill in making fantasy and invention
emerge from precise knowledge and training – and by his ability to inspire a similar alchemy
in his collaborators.

Classically trained as an actor and countertenor, he studied theatre directing in London and
Moscow, specialising in Shakespeare, techniques of adaptation, Meyerhold and commedia
dell’arte. Jorge also holds a PhD exploring the dramatic training of opera performers.
With a love for site-specific projects and collaborative forms, and an equal flair for comedy
and drama, his work is dramaturgically inventive, visually striking, and physically engaged.
He was the artistic director of Bloomsbury Opera and associate director of The Opera
Makers, both in London. In Portugal, he has recently directed L’Heure Espagnole and The
Turn of the Screw at Centro Cultural de Belém, and Don Giovanni and La Voix Humaine at
Festival de Ópera de Óbidos.

Jorge is committed to his work as a teacher, having taught at the Dutch National Opera
Academy, Morley College London, Universidade de Évora and other institutions. He
maintains an international coaching private practice and is the acting coach at the Neil
Semer Vocal Institute in Italy.
