Arachel Dolphie brings Cuban Zarzuela to life, celebrating a tradition that blends theater, music, and storytelling. This show reflects the post-colonial European influence on Cuba, honoring composers like Ernesto Lecuona, Gonzalo Roig, and Rodrigo Prats—pioneers of symphonism and creators of Havana’s Symphony Orchestra and Cuban Lyric Theater. Their works uniquely blend European melodies with Afro-Cuban rhythms, preserving the spontaneity of Cuban tradition.
