But the Spanish music scene has much more to offer than just the \u201c<em>cante jondo<\/em>\u201d, especially when it comes to opera.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Opera with Spanish flair<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The earliest Spanish operas appeared in the mid 17th century, but the art form was slow to catch on in comparison to neighboring Italy , France and the German- speaking region. Part of the reason that it initially failed to capture the Spanish public was because of Spain\u2019s strong tradition of spoken drama \u2013 which many felt was simply a superior art form. \u00a0It was not until the appearance of genres such as ballad opera and <em>opera comique<\/em> that opera in Spain started to gain momentum. Spanish composers went on to develop their own national style of opera: the zarzuela, which is characterized by a mixture of sung and spoken dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>Opera flourished in Spain during the 18<sup>th<\/sup> century with the zarzuela and the appearance of two excellent composers, Sebasti\u00e1n Dur\u00f3n and Antonio Literes. Literes&#8217; opera <em>Accis y Galatea<\/em> (1708) was particularly popular. In the same century, Rodrigues de Hita earned great acclaim for his uniquely Spanish use of guitars, mandolins, tambourines, and castanets, as well as spectacular dancing, in his opera <em>Las labradoras de Murcia<\/em> (1769).<\/p>\n<p>Over 10,000 zarzuelas were written in the hundred years after 1850. The Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid became the hub of this activity, and is still fully functional today.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Come for the venue, stay for the show<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Opera as an art form may not be for everyone, but Spanish opera offers something that can be universally appreciated \u2013 the opera houses themselves. Their jaw-dropping golden opulence can romance even the most unenthusiastic guest into enjoying a performance.<\/p>\n<p>Opera houses in Spain are plentiful, but among the most notable are the <strong>Teatro Real in Madrid,<\/strong> the <strong>Gran Liceu Theatre in Barcelona<\/strong>, the <strong>Campoamor Theatre<\/strong> in <strong>Oviedo<\/strong>, the <strong>Palau de les Arts in Valencia<\/strong> or the <strong>Euskalduna Jauregia Conference and Music Centre<\/strong> in <strong>Bilbao<\/strong>. Each of these unique settings offers world-class performances with matching visual splendor to enjoy during the intervals.<\/p>\n<p>For true opera fans, Spain also hosts several well-known events: the <strong>Mozart Festival<\/strong> in\u00a0<strong>A Coru\u00f1a<\/strong>, the <strong>Santander International Festival<\/strong> and the season at <strong>La Maestranza Theatre<\/strong> in <strong>Seville<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hispanorama-tours.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/6_Liceu_4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full
