LA ZARZUELA
Friday 17th November at 6:30pm.
Conducted in English
Zarzuela is a Spanish Lyric-dramatic genre that alternates between spoken and sung scenes, the latter incorporating operatic and popular song, as well as dance.
Carlos de la Riva will present two Zarzuelas from the Spanish light operatic genre to highlight the music and language of the period. The talk will be backed by written material in the original language to help those with basic and moderate level of Spanish.
This is a lyric-dramatic genre that alternates between spoken and sung scenes. The name derives from a Royal hunting lodge, the Palacio de la Zarzuela near Madrid. In 18th-century Bourbon Spain, Italian artistic style dominated the arts and Zarzuelas, though still written to Spanish texts, changed to accommodate the Italian vogue.
