De Palamós al Teatre Tívoli de Barcelona: Retorn (1921), de Josep Sancho Marraco i Miquel Roger Crosa Authors Anna Maria Anglada i Mas Abstract The lyrical drama Retorn, by the writer Miquel Roger Crosa and the composer Josep Sancho Marraco, premiered on 6 January 1922 at the Carmen Theatre in Palamós. It was staged by members of the Aucellada Choral Society, an entity which was founded in 1913 and which carried out an intense associative activity, holding stable annual concerts and taking part in the regional gatherings of the Brotherhood of Choral Societies of Catalonia. Miquel Roger was one of the founding members of the choral society and he was its master director. He was also the creator of the local journal Marinada and a promoter of the Jocs Florals poetry competition of 1914. During this period he maintained a close epistolary relationship with the composer Josep Sancho Marraco, which bears witness to their friendship and to their will to cooperate in undertaking the project which led to the creation of the lyrical theatre work Retorn. It was staged in Palamós on two occasions, subsequently once at the Principal Theatre in Olot and, lastly, a few times at the Tívoli Theatre in Barcelona. The performance of Retorn was one of the last (and highly acclaimed) activities carried out by this group of singers, since the activity of the choral society diminished after 1923. This production became the symbol of a period, of a people and of a town, and it came to be fondly remembered over the course time. Now we analyse the aspects that favoured its creation, production and reception. Downloads Download data is not yet available.
