Nevares en concert

In 1967, Pere Calders published a short story, Aquí descansa Nevares (Nevares Lies Here), the tale of a group of slum-dwellers who decided, in a moment of need, to move into the pantheons of wealthy families in the city cemetery. Nearly twenty years later, in 1985, fascinated by the social dimension, characters and epic nature of the story, Ignasi Roda began to write a musical based on Aquí descansa Nevares. The project took on large dimensions then was halted for some time until Roda decided to take it up again with the help of the music transcriber Josep Anton Garcia. Finally, in 2006, they completed the musical, entitled Nevares. All the literary and poetic subtlety of Calders’ original story enriches their libretto, which we can now enjoy in concert version, a magnificent taste of what the stage production might be like.
