Plácido Domingo and Nancy Herrera, with José Bros and Mariola Cantarero, star in this dazzling production by Emilio Sagi of Moreno Torroba’s great zarzuela, conducted by Jesús López Cobos.

 

Set in Madrid in 1868, during the reign of Isabella II, Luisa Fernanda includes some of the most inspired songs in this most Spanish of musical genres, making it hugely popular as soon as it was first performed at the Teatro Calderón, Madrid, on 26 March 1932. The work is a perfect example of the skillful compositions and orchestral arrangements of its author, Federico Moreno Torroba, one of the last great creators of the zarzuela form.

 

After its performances at the opera houses of Los Angeles and Washington DC, this zarzuela was brought to the Teatro Real by one of its most notable ambassadors: Plácido Domingo.
