highlight

O Cascais Ópera organizou este verão um concerto solidário que juntou, no mesmo palco, a Orquestra da Escola de Música do Colégio Moderno e a Macao Youth Symphony Orchestra (MYSO), numa iniciativa que reforça a missão do projeto: proporcionar experiências de aprendizagem e visibilidade a jovens músicos em início de carreira.

O concerto contou com a participação das solistas Ana Rita Coelho, vencedora do Grand Prix Égide 2025, e Sílvia Sequeira, distinguida com o 1º Prémio “Teresa Berganza” em 2024, ambas  anteriores concorrentes do Cascais Ópera. Esta atuação integra-se no percurso que o concurso proporciona aos seus participantes, criando oportunidades que se prolongam além do palco competitivo e que contribuem para a sua afirmação profissional.

O programa incluiu não só grandes árias de ópera, mas também momentos de música tradicional chinesa, oferecendo ao público a oportunidade rara de ouvir o Sheng, instrumento de sopro característico do repertório oriental, interpretado por Jia Lei. Esta diversidade musical reforçou o caráter formativo e intercultural do evento.

Esta colaboração insere-se na dimensão internacional do Cascais Ópera e representa mais um passo na missão do projeto: apoiar o talento jovem e criar pontes culturais que potenciem o crescimento artístico de todos os envolvidos.

As receitas deste concerto reverteram na totalidade para as associações Gaivotas da Torre e Centro Paroquial do Estoril.

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.
