• The free concert drew approximately 30,000 attendees to Playa de Sant Sebastià, spanning musical theatre fans, tourists and newcomers to classical music.
• Audience participation included a daily lottery that allowed eight people to stand on stage and trilingual lyric projections that turned the beach into a karaoke environment.
