An invitation to an evening of Zarzuela with Aurelio Gabaldon
Music Beyond Borders: Spain Revisited
Thursday 06 December, 2007
Live recital in Studio One at 8:00 pm
Venue: Radio Television Hong Kong
Broadcasting House, 30 Broadcast Drive, Kowloon Tong
Zarzuela is Spain’s great contribution to lyric theatre, a special mixture of operatic and popular song, and
spoken word. Zarzuela is a blend of tears and laughter that portrays Spanish life in the 19th and early 20th
centuries. Zarzuela is rarely performed in Hong Kong. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience Spain’s
best-kept secret.
Aurelio Gabaldon was a student of world-famous tenor Alfredo Kraus. He has just been awarded First prize
in the Zarzuela category (male) at ‘Operalia’ organized under the auspices of tenor Placido Domingo. This
year, he also made his debut in Barcelona’s Liceo, one of Europe’s leading opera venues.
The accompanist will be Yolanda Vidal.
Co-presented by:
Consulate General of Spain
