After the huge success of the revival of Quartett in Paris (Cité de la musique) and Amsterdam (Holland Festival), a new production of Francesconi's opera will be presented on September 24 in Porto. The mezzo soprano Allison Cook and baritone Robin Adams will be accompanied by the Remix Ensemble, conducted by Brad Lubman. The stage direction, scenery and costumes are by Nuno Carinhas and the lighting by Nuno Meira. This new production by the Casa da Música and IRCAM, supported by the Réseau Varèse, is in collaboration with Festival Musica in Strasbourg , which will host the work on September 28. 

Also in the context of 2013 season of the Casa da Música - where Francesconi is currently composer in residence - the Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto will perform the Portuguese premiere of the composer's Cobalt and Scarlet on September 28.
