Free Tour: Madrid, musical capital: from zarzuela to flamenco

Madrid is not just visited: it is listened to.

On this tour we will discover how the capital became the grand stage where the two most representative musical genres of Spain grew and conquered the public: Zarzuela and Flamenco.

As the country's cultural center, Madrid brought together the great composers, librettists, and performers who shaped the zarzuela, and was also a key point in the expansion and consolidation of flamenco from its origins to its international recognition.

We'll stroll through historic theaters, squares, monuments, and iconic spaces that have shaped Spain's musical history. At each stop, the music will come alive: we'll listen to carefully selected excerpts that will transport us to other eras, allow us to recognize unforgettable melodies, and help us understand the emotions these works evoked in their time.

More than a historical tour, it is a sensory and narrative experience that connects places, stories and sounds to discover the musical soul of Madrid.
