É com enorme orgulho que anunciamos que o Cascais Ópera – Concurso Internacional de Canto foi oficialmente aceite como membro da World Federation of International Music Competitions (WFIMC), a mais prestigiada rede internacional de concursos de música.

Fundada em 1957 em Genebra, a WFIMC reúne atualmente mais de 120 concursos em todo o mundo, todos reconhecidos pelo seu elevado padrão artístico, integridade e compromisso com o desenvolvimento das novas gerações de músicos. A federação é membro do Conselho Internacional de Música da UNESCO e desempenha um papel fundamental na valorização e visibilidade global dos concursos que promovem os mais promissores talentos da música clássica.

A integração do Cascais Ópera nesta rede internacional foi anunciada durante a 69ª Assembleia Geral da WFIMC, que decorreu de 25 a 29 de junho, em Harbin, na China – a primeira cidade chinesa a acolher este encontro desde a fundação da organização. O evento reúne representantes dos concursos mais influentes do mundo para promover o intercâmbio artístico, o diálogo sobre práticas contemporâneas e a cooperação cultural a nível global.

A presença do Cascais Ópera nesta assembleia, representado pela sua equipa de produção executiva, reforça o posicionamento do projeto no circuito internacional e destaca a sua missão de impulsionar jovens cantores líricos, promovendo a excelência, a inovação e o acesso democrático à arte da ópera.

Ao tornar-se membro da WFIMC, o Cascais Ópera reforça o seu compromisso com os mais elevados padrões artísticos e pedagógicos, abrindo novas oportunidades de visibilidade, colaboração e mobilidade para os seus candidatos e para a ópera em Portugal.

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.
