"Foc i Fum" to start the programme of the festivities for Sant Joan

The awaited "Festes de Sant Joan" in Ciutadella are about to start

This weekend, in Ciutadella two exhibitions dedicated to the "Festes de Sant Joan" will open and also in the Teatre 17 de Gener there will be the first performances of the light operetta "Foc i Fum" (1885). This popular lyrical work by Francesc d'Assís de Rosselló i Sintes (1828-1898) with text by Joan Benejam i Vives (1846-1922) is performed once again for the festivity of Sant Joan. The play describes a love triangle, in the fiestas, between Na Francina, daughter of a family of peasants, En Rafel, her boyfriend and En Bartolomeu de Son Ticaque, who, thanks to a seller of hazlenuts, En Toni, manages to conquer young Francina.

This year the stage direction is by Josep Ma Mompó and musical direction by Joan Mesquida Faner. There will be performances on June 8 (22:00 h), 9 (19:00 h), 14 (22:00 h), 15 (22:00 h) and 16 (11:00 h).

The whole programme of events for the "Festes de Sant Joan 2002" in Ciutadella can be consulted now on the web by the Town Hall.
