It is a fact that the zarzuela is enjoying a period of splendour. The Festival Castell de Peralada has encapsulated this vitality in a number of editions, staging masterpieces from the genre, such as Luisa Fernanda and La verbena de La Paloma, and always with renewed theatrical spirit. This year, with the Chapí Year almost at its mid-point, the Castle Gardens Auditorium is being revolutionised thanks to a timeless classic by the Valencian maestro, El Rey que rabió, the title that originates from the Palau de les Arts of the Turian capital in an innovative and acclaimed version by this master of the stage, Emilio Sagi. Music, dance, humour and spectacle merge in this offering, which gives the zarzuela genre back the dignity that it should never have lost.
