Director: Antonio Fauró Rondalla Lírica de Madrid «Manuel Gil». Director: Enrique García Requena - Welcome to the La Zarzuela party and welcome to one of its emblematic titles. The barberillo of Lavapiés contains the musical force of an era, in some way it is a perfect synthesis of classic and popular forms to which Barbieri adds the genius of his creativity. Larra and Barbieri loved life and it shows in each of the notes of this performance and in each of the words, so the artistic team of this production has tried to follow the current and the influence that we have been fortunate to inherit. . El barberillo is a love story between Paloma and Lamparilla that is not consummated until the end of the work due to political-conspiratorial obligations that must be attended first to save Spain. The comic and adventurous tone of the show is what we have promoted without ever forgetting that both are linked to the search for beauty. And on this matter I would like to emphasize. I have always understood comedy and adventure as a great aesthetic experience through which I have wanted to synthesize my experience in life. The depth of life and its difficult conflicts require the vision of comedy to find liberating solutions. El barberillo hovers over political and social reality thanks to the ability of his characters to surf difficulties. The music and the plot of El barberillo make our neurons find unexpected and brilliant connections, that is why I would like to invite you to enjoy this function as if it had been written yesterday because that is what we have all felt when doing it. I want to thank everyone. To all the cast that I admire so much. To all the artistic team with whom I have made this staging. To the musical direction of maestro Pérez-Sierra who makes oxygen run better through our blood, and to Daniel Bianco for having invited me to the Casa de la Zarzuela Thank you all very much! - 𝘼𝙡𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙤 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙯𝙤𝙡 More information: That is why I would like to invite you to enjoy this function as if it had been written yesterday because that is what we have all felt when doing it.

El Barberillo de Lavapiés Barbieri

Public

The Little Barber of Lavapiés

Approved

One of the most entertaining and cheerful works in the lyric repertoire is back at the House of the Zarzuela. El barberillo de Lavapiés has kept its place on our stages right up until now as an emblem of Spanish lyric works. In fact professor of musicology Emilio Casares reminds us that “to speak of El barberillo is to speak of the acme of our musical history, the paradigm of what has been considered to be Hispanic lyric theatre and madrileñismo”, of “Madridness”.
The authors mix a popular plot, dealing with Lamparilla and Paloma’s love affair, with the sentimental dalliances of two aristocrats, the little Marchioness Estrella and Don Luis; and all of this with a political backdrop: the forced transition of government from Grimaldi to Floridablanca. This thematic model had already been used by Barbieri in Jugar con fuego, Los diamantes de la corona and Pan y toros, but with Larra’s text —written in verse— it fills up with adventures, intrigues, politics, love and humour, and it works so well that it could have been written in the present day.
Characters and stories will accelerate the pitch of our lives, of our emotions, in such a way that they will make the ideas slip through our minds with such lively ease, that there’s no doubt we will leave the theatre brimming over with cheer, drenched in this “old-time” intrigue which is as current today as it was on the first day it was performed. And —as Sanzol writes— let’s mix together “health, wealth and acorns, humour, beauty and freedom” and enjoy this fiesta that La Zarzuela is putting on 145 years after its première…
