	Zarzuela - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zarzuela (IPA /θar'θwe'la/ in Spain, /sar'swe'la/ in the New World) is a Spanish lyric-dramatic genre, which alternates between spoken and sung scenes, the latter incorporating dances.
		Often, the success of zarzuelas came about because the public learned the songs from the performances, and they entered the oral culture, as happened with the popular cuplés, literally "couplets", a style of song that exists in Spain to this day, although it is now seen as a bit archaic.
		Zarzuela is also the name of a Spanish dish made of diverse sorts of seafood and fish, named after the opera genre, due to the mixture of characters.

		Zarzuela's experience is becoming increasingly common as employers step up telework options for employees and cut office space costs.

	A Spanish perfume... Zarzuela (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Zarzuela is a lively genre that depicts, in a theatrical and amusing manner, many aspects of Spanish life.
		The zarzuelas of those centuries are amusing stories that are appealing, according to the Valencian writer Antonio Eximeno, because the modern Spanish public has good taste and enjoys understanding the plot rather than just indulging on a mere passion for music.
		Zarzuelas come in two main forms: the short or small genre, consisting of works featuring popular characters of Madrid in one act, suited for "one-hour performances," and the large genre or grand zarzuela, works in several acts resembling a full opera.

	Expatica's Spanish news in English: A very Spanish art form: The zarzuela
		Zarzuelas differ from opera in that they include spoken sections interspersed between the singing and a rather different tone.
		For Domingo, although zarzuelas began in the 17th century to entertain Spain's King Philip IV and his courtiers, (performed in a pavilion surrounded by 'zarzas' - brambles) their plots tend to centre on working class or middle-class life and, whether romantic, political or tragic in theme, use "an ample sprinkling of popular Spanish humour".
		Both are early 20th-century zarzuelas — the first about a love triangle set in the world of bullfighting in Andalusia and the second a story of love games in 19th-century Madrid.

	Zarzuela! a brief history
		La Zarzuela was often visited by clowns and actors from the city of Madrid, and perhaps the piece Calderón and Hidalgo provided, running the theatrical gamut from classical opera to low slapstick and popular song - a bit like Dryden's work with Purcell in England - reminded the courtiers of a typical La Zarzuela entertainment.
		As at first, the essence of the new flowering was the exotic mixture of genres - zarzuela is not going to appeal to anyone who likes their theatre 'purely' one thing or the other.
		The growth of nationalist consciousness brought about the birth of the modern or romantic zarzuela, a mighty movement in which writers such as Ventura de la Vega, Luis de Olona, Luis Mariano de Larra and Francisco Camprodón were at least as proactive as their better known musical colleagues.
