Resumen:
This study from the late nineteenth century to right before the outbreak of the Civil War aims to analyse the relationship between Barcelonese society and the musical performances they attended. It must be borne in mind that this is a particularly turbulent period marked by the reconsideration of existing ideas and values. Not only did these changes have a deep impact on the day-to-day life of Barcelonese society, but they also paved the way for the emergence of new leisure and entertainment venues which hosted shows more in line with a new way of thinking and living, and which met the musical, and more generally, the artistic demand of society. And all under the influence of new artistic trends determined by Paris. Musical styles changed because ground-breaking harmonies from the New World amalgamated in Europe, thus reshaping existing musical aesthetics. This study attempts to prove that this disruptive wave in the social and musical scene eventually interacted and merged with existing artistic models, resulting in a new musical conception, without putting aside what is considered ‘classic’.
