It has been said that zarzuela means to Spain what operetta means
to Vienna, Offenbach to Paris, Gilbert and Sullivan to London, and
the musical to Broadway. Zarzuela is Spain's unique contribution to
lyric theatre, a mixture of spoken and sung drama with a complex
history extending over four centuries. The Zarzuela Companion is a
comprehensive guide to zarzuela's most popular and romantic works
written after 1850, with chapters devoted to the major Spanish
zarzuela composers, writers and singers. Complete synopses of all
sixty works selected are delivered at the level of detail necessary
for non-Spanish speakers to follow along with ease. The book also
features special sections on the history of the genre, and on the
parallel Catalan and Cuban zarzuela traditions. A foreword by
Placido Domingo, a selected discography with current catalog
reference numbers, a brief bilingual bibliography and glossary of
Spanish terms make this book indispensable for the newcomer and
aficionado alike.
