Details

🎭 VALLESECO BRINGS ZARZUELA CLOSER TO THE NEW GENERATIONS The 14th Valleseco International Zarzuela Competition began its programme on Tuesday, 13 October, with an educational activity aimed at the students of CEO Valleseco, bringing Spanish lyric music closer to the new generations through outreach, participation and live artistic experience. Under the title "Zarzuela for the Youngest", the students were able to discover the richness of this musical genre with the participation of Francisco Prendes, coordinator of educational and cultural activities at the Teatro de la Zarzuela; soprano Jennibel Hernández; tenor Acaymo García, whose family has its roots in the municipality of Valleseco; and Alicia González, on piano. An initiative developed in collaboration with the Educational Department of the Teatro de la Zarzuela, which reinforces the Competition's commitment to the development of new audiences and the preservation of our musical heritage.
