Òpera Popularde Barcelona
Josep Arias Velasco · Albert Guinovart · A production by Jaume Villanueva
Inspired by the story of Enriqueta Martí, the musical enters one of the darkest and most fascinating episodes in Barcelona’s crime history.
Between sordid alleys and high-society hypocrisy, the work dismantles popular myth and reveals the collision between unpunished poverty and the secrets of an elite prepared to do anything. Facts, rumours and urban legend become inseparable.
Stage world
