Zarzuela (Zahr-zwey-lah) Defined

Developed as court musical presentations in the 17th century, the zarzuela is a Spanish light opera or operetta, not necessarily comic, constructed of arias, dances and spoken dialogue. The dramas range from one to three acts and often deal satirically with aspects of daily life. The name derives from the royal palace of La Zarzuela, near Madrid, where the early entertainments were performed for Philip IV and his court. The palace was surrounded by a field of brambles—"zarza" being Spanish for bramble.
