Abstract

This paper deals with the presence of about thirty manuscripts of 18th- and early 19th-century Italian operas in the musical archive of Sant Esteve d'Olot (Regional Archive of La Garrotxa), found in the course of the IFMuC project. These finds are particularly remarkable because of the lack of operatic manuscripts from this period in Catalonia. Here we seek to contextualize this material within the context of everyday life in Olot, with special regard to a still little-known aspect of the musical life of this town and of Catalonia at large: opera performance in the domestic settings of well-to-do families and specifically of the Conill family in this case.
