Trade Review
"[Sturman's] narrative [is] based on solid inter-disciplinary historical research in Spanish and Latin American musical and stage traditions, long-term personal exposure to live zarzuela performances in New York City and El Paso, Texas, . . . and extensive fieldwork among the primary participants in this theatrical culture: zarzuela performers and audiences."--John Koegel, Ethnomusicology
