Luisa Fernanda

With this new production by the Teatro de la Zarzuela, the Italian stage director Davide Livermore and the British musical director Karel Mark Chichon show us a series of pictures of customs that shine through in Luisa Fernanda.

Bohemians

Paris 1900. Sharing a house in the Bohemian District are Roberto, a fledgling Musician, who is composing an Opera with his friend the poet Victor Duval; and the beautiful Cossette, daughter of a retired tenor, who goes up and down the stairs, taking advantage of Roberto's music to train her voice. The young bohemian musician does not know Cosette, but hears her sing daily. Instead, she's in love with Roberto and follows his steps as a composer.

Song of Aixa

Abslan and Hamed, two cousins of very different character and lives, whose families have put an end to old quarrels, become rivals for the love of the young and beautiful half-breed Aixa.
