A century from Mozart to Puccini. An exciting journey from the classic style to romanticism. Mozart, one of the greatest musical geniuses in history, wrote to the love in everyday’s life detailing his pleasures, hypocrisies, personal interests, deceptions and frustrations with an extraordinary tragic, comic and lyrical vision at the same time.
Puccini, disciple of the romantic style as a whole, exalted the ideal love invested by moral force, if not by mysticism. It began the ‘verismo’ , transmitting the sensations, the sensuality and the feelings of the personages.
Wolfang Amadeus Mozart:
Giacomo Puccini:
Stanislao Gastaldon: Musica proibita
Gian Paolo Tosti: Na Vuchella
This show not only takes us back to the singular, erudite, prolific, popular and celebrated essence of the musical heritage of the Zarzuela, it also places Zarzuela in the place where it belongs in art through the moving experiences of a singer who lived the most splendid years Of the zarzuela around the world.
Two exceptional musicians accompay me in this trip, Josep Buforn and Oksana Solovieva, playing the most memorable fragments of the best known Zarzuelas, adapted to a more intimate style but at the same time full of passion and lyrical delicacy.
We have no doubt that the spontaneity, vitality, and drama of the zarzuela will excite you. These artistic values predict a promising return to the stages and will captivate a new generation of public that, we are sure, will receive with great enthusiasm the new composers, who are renewing the zarzuela with unimaginable musical aesthetics. Perhaps the Zarzuela is timidly camouflaged under the name of Musical Theater?

The Atlantic Ocean nexus of two shores, Europe and America. The Atlantic ocean carrier of the bel canto from the Old Continent to the New. The Atlantic Ocean, scene of continental sounds that spread in the silence of the sea. This concert places us on a beautiful island in the middle of the ocean. From the Eastern side you will hear the sound of deep, melancholic, mature music: here is the Italian, French and Spanish opera with its echoes of small jewels of the sound. From the western shore, the breeze will caress you with the bright notes of fresh and overwhelming passion of a young continent full of hope: gems of the new opera from the USA, Cuba, Argentina and Brazil.
