Gran Gala de Zarzuela

Like operetta, vaudeville, and farce, it captivated audiences with entertaining, effective works, hundreds of which were created in the 19th century. Although this traditional genre was long forgotten and rarely appears on repertoires today, it is receiving renewed attention.

Star director Christof Loy, a passionate advocate of the zarzuela, is dedicating a special evening to it at the Deutsche Oper Berlin.
