Rasgos generales de la ópera en Valencia durante la monarquía de Alfonso XII

Abstract

In the present article a detailed investigation of the pregnant artistic elements and the receiving elements of the operatic spectacle in the city of Valencia during the monarchy of Alfonso XII has been carried out. The objective of this study has been to know firsthand the general features of this theatrical modality in the Levantine capital during the brief reign of the monarch. Although during this period the opera in Valencia shows more lights than shadows, it is no less true that the decade between the years 1875-1885 will be the anticipation of an increase in operatic activity that will reach during the Regency of Maria Cristina de Habsburgo-Lorena and the monarchy of Alfonso XIII the moment of fullness.
