Abertis, with culture worldwide
23 September 2019
The Abertis Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Plan establishes the involvement of the Group in the communities where it carries out its business.
In order to promote culture and make it available to all audiences, Abertis has yet again sponsored the concerts held for Group employees in Barcelona and Madrid and their relatives, as the in-house public is one of its fundamental stakeholders.
These concerts are the result of a long history of collaboration by Abertis with the Palau de la Música Catalana and the Teatro Real.
On 17th February, the Palau de la Música (Barcelona) hosted “Jazz en viu… Swuing!” (Live Jazz… Swing!), a show of music, song, dance and colour that did not disappoint the families. The rhythm of swing – which became extremely popular in the United States in the thirties – made the restless audience want to get up and dance, and there was spontaneous applause throughout the entire performance.
El teléfono (o el amor a tres) (The Telephone, or L’Amour à trois) was performed at the Teatro Real (Madrid) on 24th March. The comic opera by Gian Carlo Menotti, first presented in New York in 1947, tells of the love story of Ben and Lucy and her telephone addiction. Little could the Italian composer have imagined that the subject would still be relevant fifty years later, amidst the smartphone era The show made the audience laugh while reflecting on true communications between people.

In February 1917, Europe was immersed in the 1st World War. Pablo Picasso was 36 years old then, but was already a great artist who had started the Cubism revolution.
