Details

The Palau de la Música Catalana will bring together more than 100 artists in the first musical to be performed entirely in the modernist hall. It is the semi-staged version of Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet of Street, with the actors and singers Miquel Fernández and Anna Moliner in the main roles, and with the participation of Ivan Labanda, Eloi Gómez, Ana San Martín and Jordi Vidal, and others. The musical also features with Orquesta Camerata Penedès and Cor de Jove de l’Orfeó Català, with musical direction by Andreu Gallén and stage direction by Jordi Prat i Coll. A unique opportunity to enjoy Halloween night with a unique show in a privileged setting!

Premiered in 1979 on Broadway, the award-winning musical Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet of Street has been translated into several languages and performed around the world. Tim Burton's film adaptation, starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, in 2007, became a huge box office success and one of the most awarded and critically acclaimed titles.

Sweeney Todd is the story of Benjamin Barker, a man who has been unjustly imprisoned for fifteen years, manages to escape from prison and returns to London with the aim of taking revenge on Judge Turpin, the man who imprisoned him. Baker, as in Sweeney Todd, returns to his old barber shop upstairs from Mrs. Lovett. The razor is well sharpened and the meat pies of Mrs. Lovett more delicious than ever...
