With music and lyrics by Manuel Penella (1880-1939), and under the watchful eye of stage director Jorge Torres, this star-studded production of The Wildcat is packed with all you’d expect in a quintessential Spanish tale including a passionate love triangle, a bullfighter, flamenco dancers, a mountain bandit, and, of course, a beautiful woman at the root of it all. Known as a zarzuela (a Spanish opera), it still shows clear influences of Italian, French, and Viennese operas.
