The Madrid Teatro de la Zarzuela allows itself to be enveloped by the heat of the Caribbean in the middle of winter and, for the first time in its 163-year history, programs the work of a non-Spanish author, the very Cuban zarzuela 'Cecilia Valdés', an 'indisputable symbol of Cuban popular culture'

Daniel Bianco, Zarzuela Theatre director in La Vanguardia

'The Women of Cecilia Valdés' was a presentation with the actresses of the play at the Teatro de la Zarzuela, presented by its director Daniel Bianco.
