Pablo Sorozábal

Pablo Sorozábal was a prominent Spanish composer and conductor, best known for his work in the zarzuela genre—a form of Spanish operetta that blends spoken and sung scenes. Born in 1897 in San Sebastián, Sorozábal studied music in Madrid and later in Leipzig, where he was influenced by European classical traditions. He brought a fresh, modern spirit to zarzuela, infusing it with melodic richness and orchestral color.

Among his most celebrated works are La tabernera del puerto and La del manojo de rosas, both classics in the Spanish musical theater repertoire. Sorozábal's music often combined witty, romantic storytelling with a distinctly Spanish flavor, making his compositions audience favorites throughout Spain. In addition to zarzuela, he also composed orchestral music, choral works, and even film scores, leaving a lasting legacy in 20th-century Spanish music.
