Según el subtítulo, la zarzuela más famosa de Vives y una de las más emblemáticas, castizas y populares del repertorio, es una comedia lírica, una comedia musical y, con esto, remite al plano dramático, que debe a una obra de la gran época del teatro de España, La discreta enamorada, de Lope de Vega. Esta orientación según el modelo clásico (a una distancia temporal de tres siglos) no es casual ni constituye una excepción en el compositor, apasionado por la literatura (Don Lucas del Cigarral se basa en una comedia de Francisco de Rojas y La villana, en otra de Lope). La gracia particular de Doña Francisquita consiste en exponer clásicas intrigas lopescas con distintas tensiones de momentos históricos posteriores. Se mezclan aquí tres épocas, concentradas en el escenario invariable de Madrid, ensanchándose, aclarándose y enriqueciéndose mutuamente: la monarquía absolutista del texto original, la época romántico-burguesa, ávida de abrirse, a la que los libretistas de Vives trasladan la acción, y la época misma de los autores y de su público contemporáneo, pocos años después de la Primera Guerra Mundial, en que la burguesía nacional más que vivir languidecía con metas imprecisas. El contraste se intensifica aún más en las armonías y tonalidades matizadas que lo describen musicalmente y se personifica en las dos figuras principales; es decir, Francisquita y la variada gente de Madrid.

español

According to the subtitle of Vives' most famous zarzuela and one of the repertoire’s most emblematic, traditional and popular, Doña Francisquita is a a musical comedy. The composer’s reference in the title is to the dramatic aspect, which he owes to La discreta enamorada by Lope de Vega, a play of the grand era of Spanish theater. This orientation, which follows the classical model (with a temporal distance of three centuries), is neither casual nor an exception for the composer, who was passionate about literature (Don Lucas del Cigarral is based on a comedy by Francisco de Rojas and La villana, on one by Lope). The particular grace of Doña Francisquita consists of exposing Lope de Vega’s classic intrigues with different tensions of later historical moments. Three epochs are mixed in this zarzuela, concentrated in the unchanging scenario of Madrid, mutually expanding, clarifying and enriching each other: the absolutist monarchy of the original text, the romantic-bourgeois era, eager to open up, to which Vives' librettists transfer the action, and the authors’ own era and that of their contemporary audience a few years after the First World War, when Spanish bourgeoisie languished in the midst of undefined goals. The contrast is further intensified by the musical description of nuanced harmonies and tonalities, and is personified in the two main protagonists, namely Francisquita and the diverse people of Madrid.
