ZARZUELA:
The Zarzuela are master works of Spanish origin. This is an art that emerged at the end of Eighteenth Century and continued its peak until 1929-32. Great composers are authors of this art, an art that describes love stories between drama and joy and where daily life and customs are represented simply. Throughout these presentations, the music intensifies between duets, prose, folkloric dance and choruses, but particularly during the Prelude and Intermission of each work.
Generally, these works take place live and directly in theatres and are accompanied by excellent orchestras, pleasing a large number of participants. In our case, we have the great opportunity to present to you some of these works in DVD. We hope you enjoy them.
