El Zorro

A musical inspired by Johnston McCulley's 1919 novel that brings the masked hero El Zorro to the stage of the Teatro La Latina in Madrid.

This is a musical with a book and music by John Cameron, set in Spain and in Los Angeles between 1805 and 1815. All of its characters originate from Johnston McCulley's novel published in 1919.

Don Diego, son of a Spanish nobleman, is sent from colonised California to a military academy in Barcelona. There he comes into contact with a Gypsy company that brings him closer to freedom, art and justice, until he takes its leadership. On his return to the west coast, subjugated and enslaved at the beginning of the nineteenth century, he adopts the black mask and becomes a defender of the oppressed.

Zorro stands up to Governor Ramón, his stepbrother, in a plot of broken loyalties, clashing ideals and duels. David Bustamante features in the cast of some of the performances.
