La Verbena De La Paloma; O, El Boticario Y Las Chulapas Y Celos Mal Reprimidos

By Ricardo de la Vega

In the heart of 19th century Madrid, where the air buzzes with the vibrant energy of a bustling cultural festival, a tale unfolds that captures both the laughter and longing of its people. Rediscovered after decades of obscurity, this Spanish musical comedy, a zarzuela theatre play, weaves a rich tapestry of love and jealousy, deftly satirising the social nuances of its time.
