La Cantata

Let the music begin...Oh if only it had! 

   

At the beginning of "La Cantata" -  we watched excitedly as the the orchestra took up their positions, the singers strode onto the stage - we were in for a wonderful night of music - or so we thought.   

 "La cantata és un viatge històrico-emocional que té com a punt de partida la consciència i el record de la història del nostre país a partir dels inicis del segue"  Ah! Music through the ages we thought.

In fact it was an "historical and emotional journey of the history of Catalunya from the beginning of the century"  ... spoken in Catalan with a smattering of music.  

The 2hr performance was never ending. 

If only we could have retired to that lovely piano bar!
