Title: Zarzuela
Description: "Once the most popular form of Spanish entertainment short of the bullfight, the zarzuela boasts a long history of bridging the categories of classical and popular art. It is neither opera nor serious drama, yet it requires both trained singers and good actors. The content is neither purely folkloric nor high art; it is too popular for some and too classical for others. In Zarzuela, Janet L.

Sturman assesses the political as well as the musical significance of this chameleon of music-drama."--BOOK JACKET.
