Òpera i sarsuela

Opera and zarzuela recital with tenor Josep Bros, soprano Laura Brasó and pianist Miquel Ortega, featuring excerpts from Italian operas and Spanish zarzuelas at the Palau de la Música Catalana.

The show brings together excerpts from Italian operas and Spanish zarzuelas performed by Josep Bros, tenor, and Laura Brasó, soprano, accompanied on the piano by Miquel Ortega. The programme is organised in two parts and includes songs by Tosti and Albéniz, arias by Verdi, Puccini and Donizetti, and numbers from zarzuelas such as Luisa Fernanda, La tabernera del puerto or El gato montés.

The performance lasts around 95 minutes, with one interval. Among the opera composers are Cilea, Leoncavallo and Donizetti, and among the zarzuela composers are Soutullo and Vert, Barbieri and Sorozábal. The Palau de la Música Catalana also hosts exhibitions and cultural activities, and the show may appeal to anyone who wishes to get closer to the lyric voice and the zarzuela repertoire.
