Tudo começa na casa de Faustina Balão e Bellini del Canto, um casal que se prepara para celebrar as bodas de prata. Mas, numa família que parece viver permanentemente dentro de uma ópera, nada corre como previsto.
Faustina é uma verdadeira prima donna, Bellini preocupa-se tanto com a sua aparência como com a surpresa que preparou para a mulher e Tosca, a empregada, tenta manter alguma ordem no meio do caos. Pelo caminho há ainda Pedro Patê, o filho adolescente que está farto de viver “dentro de uma ópera” e sonha ser mágico e ilusionista, em vez de cantor.
E depois há Don Giovanni, o gato de Faustina, que desaparece precisamente no dia da festa. A procura pelo gato desencadeia uma sucessão de equívocos, mentiras e confusões, enquanto Bellini tenta esconder o seu grande segredo: preparou para Faustina um anel especial, com um raro “rubi de unicórnio”, que quer oferecer-lhe dentro de um bolo.
A situação complica-se quando Pedro Patê e Tosca tentam transformar o cão da família, Leitmotiv, no gato desaparecido. Entre truques de magia, uma orquestra que chega a abandonar o palco, um bolo, uma peruca e muitas tentativas de esconder a verdade, todos acabam envolvidos numa verdadeira comédia de enganos.
No final, o plano acaba por ser descoberto da forma mais inesperada: o cão cospe o anel, que vai parar à cabeça de Faustina e desencadeia uma cadeia de acontecimentos que permite finalmente esclarecer o mistério. E o verdadeiro Don Giovanni aparece onde menos se esperava, escondido numa gaveta, para escapar ao veterinário. Bellini confessa então a sua intenção e Faustina perdoa-lhe a trapalhada, terminando a festa com música e dança.

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.
