The cultural venue in Montblanc proved too small to accommodate the large audience eager to enjoy the performance, with approximately fifty people unable to gain entry due to the hall reaching full capacity. Given this overwhelming reception, the company is now considering a second performance in the town. The event took place at seven in the evening, operating under a reverse ticketing system.
This adaptation of the zarzuela, a classic from 1890 by Joaquín Valverde and Sinesio Delgado, was staged in Montblanc under the musical direction of Gerard Moreno. The production maintained the original 19th-century aesthetic while incorporating new musical arrangements created by Moreno himself, offering a fresh yet respectful rendition of the work.
Passions, jealousy, and misunderstandings are at the heart of a musical and comedic work that did not disappoint the audience, who enjoyed a magnificent performance by over twenty local actors and actresses.
Following its success in Montblanc, La Baralla Francesa by Companyia Mutis is set to embark on a tour. The first confirmed date for this tour will be on May 10 in Figuerola del Camp, providing another opportunity to experience this acclaimed zarzuela.
