On the occasion of the 120th anniversary of the premiere of the zarzuela La Revoltosa, by Ruperto Chapí, the Silent Band together with María Mendizábal soprano and Alfredo García, baritone, put live music to the screening of the film version filmed by Florián Rey in 1924, an authentic jewel of Spanish silent films. An opportunity to revisit one of the best known zarzuelas set in Madrid and the forgotten Spanish film heritage of the beginning of the last century.
