La Recepción de la zarzuela en la Barcelona de 1898 Authors Celestino Lahera Aineto Abstract This article contains some aspects covered by my Masters study Rebotica de música / (Barcelona 1898) / Lo mejor contra la crisis: una hora de zarzuela, whose aim was to measure, quantitatively and using objective data, the significance of the Spanish style of operetta known as zarzuela in terms of the shows on offer in Barcelona in 1898. First of all, there is a brief explanation of the historical background, commenting on the different ticket prices for the shows and dealing with the problem of the many different names given to the pieces we have grouped together under the popular term of zarzuela. We then analyse which shows were the most successful, as well as their most representative authors, the zarzuelas that were performed in Catalan and provide an example of the relationship between the words and/or plot contextualisation and the conflictive and political situation affecting the country at the time. As this is a quantitative study, the data were obtained by mining the entertainment sections of the La Vanguardia and La Dinastía newspapers, thereby comparing the zarzuela shows on offer with those of opera, plays, pantomime, etc. The final conclusion, which confirmed the initial hypothesis, was that, based on the data analysed and aside from other considerations, the zarzuela was the most popular show with audiences that year.
