The contest Maratona Opera XXI wants to bring new dynamics to the Portuguese contemporary opera, enhancing and showcasing new composers, new repertoire, new operas, new interpreters, to create the opera of the future and bring opera closer to the world and the audience of today!
 
This second edition invests in the artistry of composing arias - the key moment in opera, in which the power of music together with the intensity of lyric singing in all its splendor, strikes you the most, lasting and being performed beyond the opera itself.
 
Selected composers are invited to compose arias based on texts and plots of their choice, who will be presented in staged version in a Final. They will also attend masterclasses focusing on prosody and other specific themes and work with singers to improve their knowledge and praxis in writing for lyric voice.
 
These brand new opera arias will be evaluated by a jury of mixed personalities from various artistic fields, where the audience also participates. Carlos de Pontes Leça Award will be attributed to the winner with a new commission.
This is not an academic contest, composers are chosen by their musical identity and skills, nor even a CV is required. All composers are invited to participate fostering  equality of opportunities and talent coming from unexpected backgrounds. We hope soon to open up the contest, to an international level.
 
Instead of a Song Contest, we propose an Aria Contest!
 

Francisco Lima da Silva, João Ricardo, Nelson Jesus, Rúben Borges and Tiago Cabrita are the chosen composers to enchant this Final of New Arias.
 
From a scientist despairing at his immortal condition, to the doubts within the complex life of a couple, or one unadapted who thinks to be Sisiphus, searching for a meaning in a unintelligible world, or a lullaby sung by the mother of a well know politician, to the evocation of a diary in shadows, until the scream for freedom of Mariana Janeiro’s. Six arias for soprano, mezzo, tenor and baritone with themes, atmospheres, filled with intense and diverse characters, who will make you fly over the sonorities and life of today’s world.

O concurso MARATONA ÓPERA XXI pretende  dinamizar a ópera contemporânea portuguesa, potenciar novos compositores, novo repertório, novas óperas, novos intérpretes, para criar a ópera do futuro e aproximá-la do mundo de hoje.
 
Esta 2ª edição investe na mestria de compor árias de ópera, o momento chave na ópera, em que a força da música se conjuga com a força do canto lírico em todo o seu esplendor e que perdura para lá da própria ópera.
 
Compositores selecionados, são convidados a criarem árias a partir de textos à sua escolha, que serão encenadas e em vez de um festival da canção, propomos um festival da Ária!
 
As árias serão avaliadas por um júri de personalidade de várias áreas artísticas, em que o público também participa. O vencedor receberá o Prémio Carlos de Pontes Leça, no valor de 1500 euros, com uma comissão  de maior fôlego a apresentar em edições futuras do Operafest e a ária  vencedora será mais uma vez apresentada, no espectáculo de encerramento do Operafest.
 

Francisco Lima da Silva, João Ricardo, Nelson Jesus, Rúben Borges e Tiago Cabrita, são os compositores escolhidos para nos deleitar com as suas novas árias, nesta final!
 
Desde um inadaptado que se julga Sísifo, em busca de sentido num mundo ininteligível, a uma canção de embalar da mãe de um conhecido político, passando pelas dúvidas na complexa dinâmica da vida a dois,  à evocação de um"diário na sombra" e ao grito de Mariana Janeiro na sua luta pela liberdade. Cinco árias para soprano, meio-soprano e tenor, com temas, atmosferas e personagens intensos e diversos, que nos farão viajar nas sonoridades e na vida do mundo de hoje!
