The zarzuela Policemen and thieves is the last commission and premiere of the Teatro de la Zarzuela, although the list of contemporary lyrical works dates back to the eighties and nineties of the last century with a cycle for the old Sala Olimpia. In addition, this title is added to a series of new productions by Spanish authors on the same stage of the Plazuela de Jovellanos.
On this occasion Marco returns with a zarzuela, almost half a century after the premiere of Fuenteovejuna , by Moreno Buendía, with the aim of updating, in a certain way, the genre. For the composer, this new production is "an artistic adventure that I think was worth trying", since it is about tackling a new creative project, bringing political corruption to the stage with the intention of showing it as "a peculiar farce, without the gravity of a devastating criticism, with the self-confidence and lightness of an argument whose intrigue incorporates the tension of 'suspense' in a display of types, figures, hypothetical sets and credible absurdities».
This new zarzuela, with a tragicomic tone, tilted towards sarcastic skepticism, will be musically attractive; The person in charge of leading the orchestra will be José Ramón Encinar, a maestro who knows contemporary music in the country like few others. And, according to the show's own stage director, Carme Portaceli, this will be "as a kind of expiation, we will see if, through irony, through a scenic language that allows us to represent the horror of this story, like a fire on the night of San Juan, we manage to create distance with that which weighs us down like a slab and shames us every day: corruption».
