📖 A centennial production of L'Estel de Natzaret

The play L'Estel de Natzaret was originally premiered in 1903 at Cercle Catòlic de Gràcia, created by two members: Ramon Pàmies, who wrote the script, and Father Miquel Ferrer, who composed the score.

Since that premiere, the show has run uninterrupted with only rare exceptions: performances were halted during the Spanish Civil War (1936, 1937, and 1938) before obtaining permission to resume in Catalan on December 31, 1939; in 2015 and 2016 during building renovation works; and in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

🏛️ Living folk tradition in the Gràcia neighbourhood

Affiliated with the Coordinadora de Pastorets de Catalunya, this stage production preserves one of the most historically continuous and community-rooted theatrical traditions in Barcelona.

ℹ️ Good to know: Performed in Catalan.

✨ A classic experience to enjoy traditional Christmas theatre in the heart of Gràcia.
