Operetta (Girona)

Cor de Teatre brings back the show that revolutionised a cappella singing in 2011, bringing Verdi, Bellini, Rossini, Bizet, Wagner and Offenbach to the stage as no one had ever seen or heard them before. Without losing its essence, the show is updated at all levels, both artistic and technical, to surprise the audience once again.
Someone leaves a piano on an abandoned stage. Characters linked to the world of theatre emerge from the instrument: stagehands, lighting technicians, tailors, directors, singers, actresses and actors… Together they will perform, with the complicity of the most famous openings, arias and opera hearts, different situations in the form of a sketch.
Imagine an impossible filming of the Toast from La Traviata, or a stage of the Tour de France where the runners pedal to the rhythm of the end of the first act of The Barber of Seville, or a love story between two workers cleaning a train station accompanied by the soundtrack of the Heart of Slaves from Nabucco. Do you have it?
Imagine also that there is no orchestra, just a good handful of voices that, in addition to being soloists, provide the harmonic cushion and make the audience forget that there are no musicians.
If you add tons of talent, humor, rhythm and visual force, the result is Operetta, performed by Cor de Teatre, a group that breaks the mold and takes chapel music beyond its limits. Thus, Operetta is not just theater, or just opera… it is a powerful mix of the two most universal languages: vocal music and gestural theater.
