Zarzuela Viva is a vibrant, direct, and deeply engaging celebration of Spain's most beloved lyric genre. This album brings together a carefully curated selection of the most popular and instantly recognisable zarzuela numbers, designed to connect immediately with a wide audience while fully preserving artistic and musical excellence. Under the direction of Alejandro Mu�oz, the C�rdoba Orchestra and the C�rdoba Opera Chorus deliver a performance full of energy, colour, and stylistic authenticity. They are joined by two highly charismatic soloists, soprano Luc�a Tavira and baritone Javier Povedano, whose voices add warmth, expressiveness, and brilliance to each piece. The programme spans zarzuela's golden age, from the late nineteenth century to the early decades of the twentieth, featuring romanzas, choruses, and orchestral interludes that form part of Spain's collective musical memory. Love, humour, passion, jealousy, and popular life unfold in a lively and accessible recording, ideal both for seasoned listeners and for newcomers discovering zarzuela for the first time. Zarzuela Viva is not only a tribute to this national genre, but also an invitation to enjoy it today with freshness, rhythmic vitality, and genuine emotion-making this album an especially attractive and highly commercial title for a broad international audience.
