Main Choir of the Teatro de la Zarzuela. Director: Antonio Fauró - My grandfather used to play zarzuela in the car when we traveled together to (or from) the house in Alcocéber. I am eternally grateful to him for approaching this beautiful genre at a very young age. And I think I wish I was here to see The King Who Raging. Surely it was one of his favorite zarzuelas. How could it not be! The music by maestro Chapí and the libretto by writers Ramos Carrión and Vital Aza is a true work of art. They created a very real fantasy world to narrate and sing us this funny story. That's why I wanted to follow his advice and set the play somewhere in nowhere. Yesterday, today or the day after tomorrow. As we all know, history repeats itself and there is little that we have not already seen. For me it's about connecting the dots in a way that each of the viewers feels, empathizes and interprets the characters, the place and the relationships from their own point of view. From your own unique perspective. And that is why the librettists did not name the King, the General, the Governor, the Admiral, or the Intendant... Because there could be as many different kings, generals, admirals, governors and intendants as there are spectators in the room. Let each one resonate with some images, some themes, some suggestions, some influences and interpret it as you wish. Give the public as much freedom as possible. The public. The most powerful reason why we dedicate ourselves to this beautiful profession, because among the things that this terrible pandemic has taught us is that without an audience there is no theater. I hope, dear audience, that you enjoy this evening. Good night - 𝘽á𝙧𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙖 𝙇𝙡𝙪𝙘𝙝 More information:http://teatrodelazarzuela.mcu.es/es/t...
