«El concierto de San Ovidio» is the play by Antonio Buero Vallejo, published by Austral in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Set in eighteenth-century Paris, it narrates the cruel humiliation of a small orchestra of blind musicians by a Parisian impresario. Buero Vallejo turns that historical anecdote into a parable about exploitation, dignity and the human condition, which also evoked the experience of Spaniards under Francoism.
This edition, prepared by David Johnston, includes a reading guide by Francisco Javier Díez de Revenga and belongs to Austral's Contemporánea collection.
It will appeal to readers of classic Spanish theatre and to those studying the work of Antonio Buero Vallejo.
Antonio Buero Vallejo was a Spanish playwright associated with the Generation of '36 movement and considered the most important Spanish dramatist of the Spanish Civil War.
