Teatro de la Zarzuela
A Theatre for a Genre
La Zarzuela, a theater with more than 160 years of history, is the first and only theatre built specifically for the Spanish operetta, la Zarzuela. Since its origins in 1856 La Zarzuela has always been faithful to its principle of being a theatre fit for a genre… and a genre fit for a Theatre.
Aims :
Ever since its creation the Teatro de La Zarzuela has been a meeting point for several generations of audiences and for all those who are attracted to Spanish culture. At this theatre, where the Spanish musical comedy has always been cultivated, the best works of the zarzuela repertoire are still sung and performed.
A flagship project:
Since the 2017/2018 season, the Zarza Project (zarzuela for and by young people) has aimed to bring the zarzuela genre closer to teenage audiences while offering young performers the chance to take part in a high-quality professional artistic experience.
