Operafest Lisboa 2020
Operatic Rave
5 SEP | 22h00
MNAA Garden
(National Museum of Anciant Art)
Opera blends in pop music and pop music in opera.
The audience is invited to make a delirious journey to the world pop opera, with social distancing, following covid code.
Homage and tribute to stars who have crossed these two worlds: Nina Hagen and Klaus Nomi, but also to great operas Divas Maria Callas and Mirella Freni (who recently left us)
Operatic hapenings invade the space.
Absolute premiere of orgasmic micro-opera "Pleasure" by Ana Seara, our composer in residence.
Djs, opera singers, improvisors, composers, musicians of different backgrounds, disclose irresistible opera mixtures.
Dresscode: besides the obligatory covid mask, we invite the audience to mask itself in full operatic style, from baroque to futurism.
Afonso de Portugal (composer and electronics), Iguana Garcia (electro-pop), Royal Bermuda (Luso-tropicalism), Lieben (acid house techo/electronics), Ana Seara (composer and electronics)
Catarina Molder (soprano), Manuel Brás da Costa (counter-tenor), Rui Baeta (baritone)

Ana Seara

In absolute creation, this micro-opera questions and evoques in terms of sound and emotion, the boundaries of feminine and masculine pleasure and pain, till climax.
