Doña Francisquita is a lyrical comedy in three acts, with a libretto by Federico Romero and Guillermo Fernández-Shaw, inspired by 'La discreta enamorada de Lope de Vega', and music by the maestro Amadeo Vives. Premiered at the Teatro Apolo in Madrid on October 17, 1923, it is considered one of the great masterpieces of Spanish zarzuela. The work portrays with great sensitivity the romantic Madrid of the 19th century, combining humor, romantic entanglements, and costumbrism in a staging full of color and vitality. Due to its rich dramatic and musical content, many consider it also an authentic comic opera.
