"Matrimonis a Montserrat ó Buscant la perduda : Anada en dos actes i en…." by Conrad Roure is a Catalan comedic play written in the late 19th century. Set during a lively excursion to the Montserrat monastery, it centers on two mismatched newlyweds—Bonifaci with the young Cándida, and the young Martí with the older Pona—and on Miquel, a peasant anxiously searching for his wife Roseta. The tone is musical and playful, with
choruses, dances, and gentle satire of excursionists and petty officials as jealousy and flirtation spark comic frictions. The opening of the play begins in a crowded railway carriage bound for Montserrat, where the travelers sing, banter, and we meet the couples, the jovial Narcís, and Miquel, who admits he has “lost” Roseta. At the monastery, lodging is arranged side by side, Pona’s jealousy flares, and by moonlight at the hermitage of the Apòstols a bumbling town council from the Bruch provides comic relief before everyone dances a sardana. In the restaurant scenes, excursionists toast local wine while a photographer fusses over staging a group portrait; Cándida performs a waltz, Pona needles Martí, and Miquel ruins one shot by shouting “Roseta!” as he keeps searching. On the paths to the Cova and toward Sant Jeroni, a chorus of mariners sings in a panoramic interlude, and Narcís finally brings Miquel reassuring news via a trader’s message that Roseta is well, as the party prepares to continue its outing—some on donkeys, others on foot.
