Fundaci\u00f3 \u00d2pera a Catalunya<\/strong> (FOC, Opera in Catalonia Foundation), has been organised as the instrument required to ensure the continuity and growth of the \u201c\u00d2pera a Catalunya\u201d cycle, which has been led for over 38 years by Associaci\u00f3 d\u2019Amics de l\u2019\u00d2pera de Sabadell (AAOS, Friends of the Opera Association of Sabadell).<\/p>

FOC<\/strong> represents the joint efforts of four prominent institutions of the culture sector: Associaci\u00f3 d\u2019Amics de l\u2019\u00d2pera de Sabadell<\/strong>, Orquestra Simf\u00f2nica del Vall\u00e8s<\/strong> (Vall\u00e8s Symphony Orchestra), Fundaci\u00f3 Banc Sabadell<\/strong> and Fundaci\u00f3 Fluidra<\/strong>. Two of these are leading entities in the dissemination of music and culture by civil initiative in Catalonia, while the other two are corporate foundations with an outstanding contribution to the development of Catalonia through music and culture as well. <\/p>

All four organisations have their origin and their headquarters in the city of Sabadell<\/strong> and boast a long history of commitment to culture throughout Catalonia.<\/strong><\/p>

FOC\u2019s goals are the creation<\/strong>, production<\/strong>, direction<\/strong>, exhibition<\/strong> and communication<\/strong> of opera<\/strong> and lyrical<\/strong> productions, giving continuity to the existing activity in this field. Specifically, it promotes the \u201c\u00d2pera a Catalunya<\/strong>\u201d (Opera in Catalonia) cycle in collaboration with the Department of Culture of the Government of Catalonia<\/strong>, Sabadell City Council<\/strong>, the Spanish Ministry of Culture<\/strong>, Barcelona Provincial Council<\/strong> and other institutions, with the support of various sponsors, collaborators and patrons. <\/p>

In carrying out this activity, it strives to foster its consolidation and vitality as an opera and symphony production centre rooted in the city of Sabadell, as an engine driving and serving the entire Catalan area, and as a proximity instrument of democratisation, inclusion and territorial integration based on the promotion of music. The cities of Sabadell<\/strong>, Sant Cugat del Vall\u00e8s<\/strong>, Manresa<\/strong>, Granollers<\/strong>, Reus<\/strong>, Girona<\/strong>, Vic<\/strong>, Tarragona<\/strong>, Lleida<\/strong>, Viladecans<\/strong>, Tortosa<\/strong> and Barcelona<\/strong> form part of the \u201c\u00d2pera a Catalunya\u201d circuit. <\/p>

In the wake of the historical legacy of AAOS, we are committed to continue working with total dedication, constantly endeavouring to strengthen our values, rigour, quality and spirit of improvement, while fostering private initiative<\/strong>, entrepreneurship<\/strong>, our rooting in society<\/strong>, the backing of young talents<\/strong>, sustainability<\/strong>, efficiency<\/strong> and responsibility. <\/p>

In this way, in the years to come we seek to gain recognition as a prestigious and strategic top-flight organisation esteemed by the audience, programmers, institutions, sponsors and artists alike.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In 1982, the soprano Mirna Lacambra created Associaci\u00f3 d\u2019Amics de l\u2019\u00d2pera de Sabadell (AAOS, Friends of the Opera Association of Sabadell), to organise an opera festival in her city and to ensure its continuity. October of that year saw the Association\u2019s first production, Puccini\u2019s Madama Butterfly<\/em>, in which the AAOS\u2019s choir, Cor dels Amics de l\u2019\u00d2pera de Sabadell, also made its debut at Teatre La Far\u00e0ndula in Sabadell. <\/p>\n

The ORQUESTRA SIMF\u00d2NICA DEL VALL\u00c8S (Vall\u00e8s Symphony Orchestra), was formed in 1987 with the twofold purpose of serving opera and of carrying live symphonic music to all the towns in Catalonia. Its opera debut took place on 14th May of that year, likewise at Teatre La Far\u00e0ndula in Sabadell, with Puccini\u2019s Madama Butterfly<\/em>. The Orchestra became independent of Amics de l\u2019\u00d2pera de Sabadell in 1988, adopting the form of a cooperative limited company while continuing to collaborate with AAOS in its opera productions. <\/p>\n

In a collaboration between the Department of Culture of the Government of Catalonia and AAOS, the idea took shape of carrying operas to other towns. This led to the organisation of the \u201c\u00d2PERA A CATALUNYA\u201d cycle in 1989. The project helped to ensure the continuity of Orquestra Simf\u00f2nica del Vall\u00e8s and to disseminate opera and symphonic music across Catalonia. Thanks to this cultural project, thousands of people have been able to discover the world of music, opera and symphony. Aix\u00ed, milers de persones han descobert el m\u00f3n de la m\u00fasica, l\u2019\u00f2pera i el simf\u00f2nic a trav\u00e9s d\u2019aquest projecte cultural.<\/p>\n

All this activity serves the purpose of disseminating opera and of discovering new talents. Over the course of these 37 years, some 900 performances have been offered in Sabadell, Girona, Granollers, Lleida, Manresa, Reus, Sant Cugat del Vall\u00e8s, Tarragona, Tortosa, Vic, Viladecans, Matar\u00f3, Badalona, Vilafranca del Pened\u00e8s, Terrassa, Olesa de Montserrat, Sitges, Valls, Cervera, Balaguer and Figueres, as well as in the Cap Roig and Blanes festivals. Beyond Catalonia, the cycle has visited Andorra, Oviedo, Murcia, Jerez de la Frontera and Montevideo. <\/p>\n

L\u2019any 1996 es crea l\u2019ESCOLA D\u2019\u00d2PERA DE SABADELL, a la qual s\u2019accedeix per mediaci\u00f3 de proves de selecci\u00f3 a trav\u00e9s del Concurs MIRNA LACAMBRA.

Aquestes caracter\u00edstiques la fan \u00fanica a l\u2019estat, donant oportunitat a joves valors. <\/p>\n

In short, this is the profile of a young active organisation whose enterprising and courageous spirit, thanks to its members (who form the backbone of the Association) and the support of the Government of Catalonia, Sabadell City Council, the Spanish Ministry of Culture \u2013 INAEM, Barcelona Provincial Council and Fundaci\u00f3 Banc Sabadell, has never wavered down through the years.<\/p>\n

The Orquestra Simf\u00f2nica del Vall\u00e8s (OSV)<\/strong> is an organisation that has been carrying music to people\u2019s hearts since 1987<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emotion<\/strong> is our <\/strong> strong<\/strong> point<\/strong> and, to convey it, we seek to obtain our audience\u2019s participation and to approach our audience, introducing innovations in musical formats and in ways of making music, while strengthening our commitment to value with our community<\/strong>,<\/strong> which extends from our home in the city of Sabadell to every corner of Catalonia.<\/p>\n

Indeed, we are unique<\/strong>. We came into being 32 years ago within the framework of Associaci\u00f3 d\u2019Amics de l\u2019\u00d2pera de Sabadell, but just one year later we became the only symphonic orchestra in Spain organised as a cooperative limited company, in which the members are both the workers and the owners.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are solidary.<\/strong> We believe that music is a means of social transformation, a factor that helps to enhance our surroundings, and an essential instrument for the development of all people.<\/p>\n

We are innovators.<\/strong> We work to develop new audiences for classical music, innovating formats and establishing a dialogue with other artistic disciplines such as cinema, dance, theatre and literature.<\/p>\n

Fundaci\u00f3 Fluidra was created in 2016 to put the knowledge that the company Fluidra had acquired about water over the course of its 50 years of history at the service of society and, especially, of the people who are most in need of it. At Fluidra, the Foundation is conceived as a natural step in its commitment to society, with the aim of better focusing its corporate social responsibility initiatives<\/strong> and achieving major impacts. <\/p>\n

The activities of Fundaci\u00f3 Fluidra are organised along two lines: water and music<\/strong>. In this way, the projects carried out by the Foundation align with two basic commitments: social commitment<\/strong>, involving projects addressed to accessibility, awareness and education about the use of water; and cultural commitment<\/strong>, aimed primarily towards fostering music as an element that serves to educate and dignify people. <\/p>\n

The Foundation\u2019s goal is to foster dissemination, training and research activities in the educational, scientific and cultural fields, and to cultivate and support young talent. Over the course of its history, Fundaci\u00f3 Banc Sabadell has helped to promote activities in these fields and it has become consolidated as the organiser of the prestigious Fundaci\u00f3 Banc Sabadell Awards for Biomedical Research<\/strong>, for Economic Research, and for Sciences and Engineering.<\/strong> <\/p>\n
