Music: the rebirth of the “Trilogia das Barcas”, a brilliant opera by Joly Braga Santos
Cthe voice goes out that José Manuel Joly Braga Santos did not live on this land. He lived in his music, in a cocoon of sound that led him, on the tram, to place a piece of paper against the back of the front passenger so that ‘that’ measure wouldn’t escape him. What in others would be a distraction, in him it was the abstraction of a creative impetus that could appear at any moment, even to him, who hated the word ‘inspiration’ because Being a composer was, after all, a job like any other.
