Gran Gala de Zarzuela

Tribute concert to zarzuela with four lyric performers who journey through well-known fragments of the genre at the Casa Museo Núria Pla, right in the centre of Barcelona.

This programme pays tribute to zarzuela, the Spanish lyric genre that alternates singing with spoken word. On stage are tenor Facundo Muñoz, baritone Lucas Groppo, mezzosoprano Mar Esteve and pianist Graham Lister.

The repertoire brings together numbers from titles such as La Dolorosa, Luisa Fernanda, La Revoltosa, La del manojo de rosas and La Tabernera del puerto, with works by Pablo Luna, Federico Moreno-Torroba, José Serrano, Pablo Sorozábal, Federico Chueca, Joaquín Valverde, Jacinto Guerrero and Ruperto Chapí. The pieces include the duet of Felipe and Mari Pepa from La Revoltosa, the umbrella mazurka and the parasol mazurka from Luisa Fernanda.

The evening takes place at the Casa Museo Núria Pla, one of the most representative spaces of Barcelona's baroque period, located in the very heart of Las Ramblas. The venue is accessible for people with reduced mobility and wheelchair users.
