Over two days, September 13 and 14, audiences will discover four brand-new operas created exclusively for this edition, along with immersive experiences that bring communities closer to opera in fresh, unexpected ways.
says Sara Ross, from the Artistic Direction.
Operatic Flashmob at Loulé Municipal Market (Sept 13, 10:30 am)
Participatory Opera with local youth, at Solar da Música Nova Auditorium (Sept 13, 5:00 pm)
Sound Walks guiding audiences through the streets of Loulé and the village of Alte
World Premieres including Mane-Quim/Pig-Malião, M.O.G.A., Coisas do Verão, and Abelardo e Heloísa
From an urban amphitheater to Alte’s iconic Fonte Pequena, every performance invites audiences to experience opera beyond traditional stages, in dialogue with architecture, history, and local community.
It values both cultural heritage and contemporary creation, presenting works written, composed, staged, and performed exclusively for the festival.
The 2025 edition is supported by the Portuguese Directorate-General for the Arts, the Municipality of Loulé, the Professional School of Alte, the Parish Council of Alte, MPMP – Património Musical Vivo, Emara Music School, and Antena 2.
Between the vibrant rhythm of Loulé and the tranquil charm of Alte, the Informal Opera Festival turns the Algarve into an open-air stage for creativity. Two days to experience opera in unexpected, intense, and intimate ways.
