Description
Menu for the El Giravolt de Maig dinner, held at the Hotel Colón in Barcelona following the performance on 1st November 1928. It features one of Xavier Nogués’ costume designs for the comic opera. (Fons Manuel Clausells. Doc. 5884; FC45 Concerts (I)).
Manuel Clausells was the secretary of the Associació Música Da Camera. The artist Joan Abelló purchased his entire music archive from a Barcelona antiques dealer and since 2006, it has been the property of the Manuel Clausells Archive Documentation Centre at the Museu Municipal Joan Abelló in Mollet del Vallès. The documents held in the archive are an invaluable resource that gives us an in-depth insight into Barcelona’s music scene in the early 20th century. Since 2024, the Orfeó Català Documentation Centre (CEDOC), working with the Museu Abelló, has been processing and digitising the Manuel Clausells archive and putting its contents online.
We would like to thank Pepa Ventura, director of the Fundació Municipal Joan Abelló, for her assistance in cataloguing this work, as well as the CEDOC at the Palau de la Música.
