Zarzuela en Danza

Created and directed by Nuria Castejón, with dramaturgy by Álvaro Tato and musical direction by José Antonio Irastorza, Zarzuela en Danza - created by the Teatro de la Zarzuela as part of its Zarza Project - is a theatrical show with a difference, it’s actually a celebration of both this lyrical genre and dance.

From a festive evening in a neighbourhood corrala (a typical Madrid tenement) to the flying carpets of the far East, from the Patio de Cuchilleros in the throes of Carnival to gypsy bonfires by the side of the road, past Caribbean islands or suburban backstreets, this dreamlike journey to the heart of Zarzuela brings together for the first time on stage the most outstanding dance pieces ever written into Zarzuela scores: here, those interludes and dance passages become a way of telling Zarzuela through the free expression of the body.

We can therefore look forward to seeing dance versions of works by some of the undisputed masters of the genre: Bretón, Chapí, Chueca, Vives, Giménez, Serrano, Soutullo and Vert, Lleó, Roig, with the added attraction of a few new songs in a range of styles such as Classical Spanish, the Bolera School, Flamenco, Ballet and Contemporary Dance, combining the different styles and languages. All joined together by music, song and a libretto in verse and prose that leads us through the successive episodes of a tragicomic and tumultuous dream packed with characters.

A production by the Compañía Lírica Amadeo Vives, Pierrot y Colombina Producciones Teatrales
