Zarzuela!: Mezzo-Soprano

(Music Sales America). This unique collection presents celebrated songs from the Zarzuela, Spain's uniquely popular tradition of music theatre which draws on elements of opera, popular song, dance and spoken drama. This selection contains material from the best Spanish composers, and the songs chosen for their suitability for singers, first and foremost, rather than the actor-singers who are such a distinctive feature of Zarzuela in performance.
