highlight

O barítono sul-coreano Sunu Sun, concorrente do Cascais Ópera – Concurso Internacional de Canto 2025 e vencedor do Prémio Carlos Gomes | Festival Amazonas de Ópera, prepara-se para um conjunto alargado de apresentações no Brasil, no âmbito da 27.ª edição do Festival Amazonas de Ópera (FAO).

O que começou como um convite para uma participação em 2026 transformou-se numa presença de maior dimensão: com cinco recitas de ópera, um concerto com orquestra e um recital com piano em diversos palcos brasileiros, confirmando o impacto concreto das oportunidades geradas pelo Cascais Ópera.

Entre abril e maio de 2026, Sunu Sun apresenta-se no icónico Teatro Amazonas, em Manaus, nos dias 26 e 28 de abril, e 15, 17 e 19 de maio, integrando a programação com a Amazonas Filarmónica, sob a direção de Luiz Fernando Malheiro. Apresenta-se ainda em recital com piano no Centro Cultural Português, em Brasília, a 21 de maio, e no Theatro da Paz, em Belém, a 23 de maio.

O Festival Amazonas de Ópera, fundado em 1997, é amplamente reconhecido como um dos principais festivais líricos da América Latina, apresentando uma programação diversificada que conjuga repertório clássico, obras contemporâneas e iniciativas que promovem o acesso à ópera.

A presença alargada de Sunu Sun no Brasil exemplifica a missão do Cascais Ópera de apoiar a nova geração de cantores líricos, facilitando o acesso a palcos internacionais e promovendo o desenvolvimento artístico a longo prazo. Através de parcerias estratégicas com festivais e instituições de referência, o Cascais Ópera continua a transformar o sucesso em concurso em oportunidades profissionais concretas.

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.
