highlight

O impacto do Cascais Ópera – Concurso Internacional de Canto mede-se, também, na forma como os prémios se transformam em oportunidades reais para os seus participantes. Em 2024, duas jovens sopranos portuguesas — Teresa Sales Rebordão e Constança Melo — foram distinguidas com contratos profissionais, integrando a lista de premiados cujos talentos são reconhecidos com atuações em palcos de referência.

Estes contratos artísticos foram atribuídos como prémios no âmbito da edição de 2024, resultado direto das parcerias estratégicas estabelecidas pelo Cascais Ópera com festivais e instituições culturais. Agora, os compromissos assumem forma concreta com a participação das cantoras em eventos de grande prestígio.

A soprano Teresa Sales Rebordão apresentará dois recitais no Festival Internacional de Música de Marvão 2025, sob direção artística de Christoph Poppen e Juliane Banse. No dia 19 de julho, interpreta obras de Lili e Nadia Boulanger, compositoras francesas, acompanhada pela pianista Silke Avenhausa, na Igreja de São Tiago e no dia 24 de julho integra o elenco internacional que apresenta os Liebeslieder-Walzer de Johannes Brahms, ao lado de Sunhae Im, Ilyà Dovnar, Nikolay Borchev, Marcelo Amaral e Tae-Hyung Kim, no Pátio do Castelo de Marvão.

Já Constança Melo, também distinguida no Cascais Ópera, concretiza o seu prémio com um recital a solo no Festival de Música de Mafra, no dia 26 de julho de 2025, no Auditório Municipal Beatriz Costa. Intitulado “Carta aberta a Constança Melo”, o programa será acompanhado ao piano por Eduardo Jordão, num momento que celebra o seu percurso artístico.

Mais do que um concurso, o Cascais Ópera assume-se como uma plataforma de profissionalização e visibilidade, apostando em parcerias que transformam o talento em experiência de palco. Estas atuações são exemplo claro de como o festival cumpre o compromisso de impulsionar carreiras, oferecendo mais do que distinções: oferece caminho.

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.
