“Don Bosco,born in Italy on 16 August 1815, could never have imagined that on the vigil of his bicentenary, in a city in southern Spain, a cast made up of more than a hundred persons from Salesian presences would come together to say thanks, through music, for the work with the young that he carried out during his lifetime”. These were the words used to announce the presentation of this musical last February.
