🎭 VALLESECO BRINGS ZARZUELA CLOSER TO NEW GENERATIONS The 14th Valleseco International Zarzuela Competition began its programme this Tuesday, 13 October, with an educational activity aimed at the students of CEO Valleseco, bringing Spanish lyrical music closer to the new generations through outreach, participation and live artistic experience.
