Tribute to Zarzuela

The Zarzuela, a Spanish tradition.

Somebody with knowledge of Edinburgh musicals, operetta or opera will find some aspects of familiarity in Zarzuela, the Spanish popular opera which reached its definitive form in the 19th century as a mixture of instrumental music, singing, dancing.

Instituto Cervantes in Manchester and the Consulate General of Spain in Edinburgh presents Tribute to La Zarzuela, a fantastic classical music concert with the award-winning soprano Laura Alonso Padín and the famous pianist and composer Manuel Valencia Segarra in a repertoire with classics of the Zarzuela by authors such as Manuel de Falla, Joaquín Nin and Amadeo Vives, among others.
