Every summer, La Palma becomes a meeting place for Spanish music and zarzuela, hosting a festival that has established itself as a landmark event thanks to the excellence of its programming and its commitment to our musical heritage.

Concerts, recitals, staged productions, and distinctive artistic projects come together in a programme that bridges tradition and innovation, bringing Spanish music and zarzuela to audiences through an open, vibrant, and contemporary perspective.

The Festival is also a space where artists, institutions, and audiences come together, fostering new collaborations and making culture a driving force for exchange, community, and international outreach.

One of its defining features is the International Zarzuela Studio · Artistic Residency, an international platform that brings together young performers of different nationalities in La Palma every summer alongside leading artists in the world of Spanish lyric theatre. Conceived to nurture emerging talent, encourage artistic exchange, and support the international development of a new generation of performers, the programme has become one of the Festival’s most distinctive initiatives.

La Palma is not merely the Festival’s setting; it is an essential part of its identity. Its rich cultural heritage, extraordinary landscape, and the warmth of its audiences make every edition a unique artistic experience.

Welcome to the International Festival of Spanish Music and Zarzuela of La Palma—a place where Spanish music and zarzuela come together each summer to inspire, move, and continue building the future.
