tchy On a hot, humid carnival night in Madrid, the people gather to celebrate the miracles of La Virgen, the
famed statue and centerpiece of Paloma Street. This religious revelry includes the cast of characters
found in Madrid at the turn of the 19th century – the fashionable young girls, a bevy of lecherous tradesmen,
barkeeps and well-educated laborers. Friends, lovers, strangers and devotees collide in this steamy
mix of Spanish-style music as the Opera Tampa Singers perform Tomas Breton’s zarzuela La Verbena
de la Paloma as well as Spanish dancing, fl amenco guitar and other tantalizing surprises.
zar·zue·la /zärzwl/ noun a Spanish traditional form of musical comedy.
