Zarzuela concert Roquetas de Mar

Attended an excellent concert at the Teatro Auditorio de Roquetas de Mar Saturday, 20 April 2013 - it was an anthology of zarzuela, the Spanish equivalent of operetta. It was a delightful mix of operatic and popular song, as well as dance. 


Zarzuela is said to derive from the name of a Royal hunting lodge, the Palacio de la Zarzuela near Madrid, where, allegedly, this type of entertainment was first presented to the Spanish court.
