The great showman is an emotional musical biopic, with Hugh Jackman of protagonist, about Phineas Taylor Barnum (1810-1891), a circus entrepreneur famous for having created “the most fabulous show in the world”. Yesterday, the Auditorium, at times, became a cinema screen because one of the most famous songs from the film, This is us, starred in one of the highlights of the Christmas concert of the Geriona choir. “A gift”, as the protagonists said, completed a while later with a Christmas carol, L’esperança es el regal, performed by all the voices of the formation, including the youth and children, with the Bisbalen musician Michael Abras
Essència, the name of the show that premiered yesterday, after Geriona had already celebrated its twentieth anniversary, claims its most unique label and shows the viewer the insides of the formation by taking a tour through melodies well recognized by everyone . Above the stage, sixty voices to guide the audience through a journey that is not only musical, but also visual. Abras’s was not the only collaboration, because in two songs the voices merged first with the circus and acrobatics of La Trena, and then with the dance of La Central.
The show started with Amazing Grace, and went on to combine the performances of the Geriona Choir with those of the youth and children. Bring me little water was the first piece that all three groups performed together. Towards the Equator of the concert, an emotional moment with Part d’est món performed by Mariona Navarro, to dazzle the viewer more and more. Before the This is us from The great showman, Mashup umbrella singing in the rain already served to start strong applause by combining Beyoncé with Sinatra, and from there, the most emotional moments, with a final stretch where shine When I grow up, with the three choirs together, White Christmas, the carol with Miquel Abras and El noi de la mare, which has already become a tradition that closes the concert.
If a month ago it was the Cobla i Corda Symphony that anticipated Christmas at the Auditorium, yesterday it became clear that the festivities are already here. And the Geriona concert is another tradition, a gift that is also a reward for the work the choir does throughout the year. And this time they let us see their Essence.
