DESCRIPTION:While Italian opera was dominating most European stages during
  the seventeenth century, Spain was developing the zarzuela, a form of mus
 ical comedy combining singing and dialogue. By the eighteenth century, the
  zarzuela was thoroughly Italianized and saw its popularity decline dramat
 ically. That would change in the nineteenth century when the zarzuela rega
 ined its Spanish roots and popularity. Sadly, it has never travelled well 
 outside of Spain, and its many composers remain quite  unknown beyond the
 ir homeland.Jeffrey Engel will discuss the history of the zarzuela and pla
 y some musical examples.
