The Zorrilla Theater of Valladolid (in Spanish: Teatro Zorrilla) is a theater located in the Plaza Mayor, in the same space where the former Convent of St. Francis was located. Access is through the arcades, as its main façade is not individualized and is concealed in the square, within the buildings uniformed by the color and architectural appearance of housing. Its rear facade overlooks Constitution Street.[1]
History
[edit]It was built in honor of the Valladolid writer José Zorrilla, who attended the inauguration of the theater in October 1884.[2]
In the mid-nineties, due to its significant deterioration, it was closed, with the intention of carrying out a full restoration project of the complex, which was delayed. In 2005, the complete restoration of the theater began under the initiative of the Diputación Provincial de Valladolid, under the direction of Roberto Valle González.[1] From the interior, only the ceiling and the structure of the hall were preserved, and the furniture, scenic space, and rooms were renovated.
The new project adapted the old theater to the needs of the time, creating a large access to the main hall, a glass staircase to the upper floors, and an orchestra pit, not to mention that the the body of the stage was raised seven meters to place modern machinery.[3] It also created a small room that is located just below the new vestibule. Among other things, the enlargement was achieved by absorbing the disappeared Hostal Zorrilla annex to the theater, and its old rooms are now the current exhibition hall, press room, offices, cafeteria, etc.[4]
It was reopened during the Fiestas de la Virgen de San Lorenzo, in September 2009.[5]
The theater presents a continuous programming throughout the year of varied genres: theater, dance, concerts, opera, and zarzuela. It also has an exhibition hall, dependent on the Diputación Provincial.[6]
Don Juan Tenorio
[edit]Following the historical tradition of this theater, since 2010, its space has hosted the annual performances of Valladolid-born José Zorrilla's drama Don Juan Tenorio around All Saints' Day. These are entrusted to Amigos del Teatro de Valladolid,[2] which is a company that brings together the main actors of the different theater companies of the city. From 2010 to 2014, the staging was Juan Casado's.[7] In 2015, Carlos Burguillo was in charge of a new one, after he had been in charge of the lighting in the previous edition. The cast of the previous staging was maintained, except for the role of the sculptor.[8]
Since 2010, we've seen Vidal Rodríguez as Don Juan, Jesús Cirbián as Don Luis, Pedro Martín as the Comendador, and Álvaro Téllez as Don Diego in the main roles. Paula Palomino (2010-2011) and Julieta Fernández de la Reguera (2012-2016) appeared in the first cast as Doña Inés, alternating with other actresses. The same is true of Amelia Legido, who has been playing Brígida since 2010.
Seats of Honor
[edit]Since its reopening in modern times, Zorrilla Theater has occasionally dedicated “seats of honor” to outstanding personalities of the national scene, due to their origin or relationship with Valladolid and, especially, for their connection with this theater. Thus, different seats in the courtyard bear a golden plaque with dedications to famous people such as directors José Luis Alonso de Santos and Juan Casado, actors Pedro Peña,[9] Arturo Fernández, Arturo López,[10] Juan Antonio Quintana and Emilio Laguna; dancers Vicente Escudero or Mariemma; singer Rocío Jurado;[11] ethnographer Joaquín Díaz González; composer and orchestra conductor Ernesto Monsalve;[12] journalists such as Ángel María de Pablos[13] or politicians such as Mª Ángeles Porres and Bernardino Vergara.[14]
