EspañolFEDERICO MORENO TORROBA
'Federico Moreno Torroba' (1891-1982) was a Spanish composer, born in Madrid.
Moreno Torroba is often associated with the zarzuela, a traditional Spanish musical form. Directing several opera companies, Moreno Torroba helped introduce the zarzuela to international audiences. However, he is probably best known for his compositions for the classical guitar.
In addition to his conducting duties, he composed many works, both in the traditional Spanish form and for the concert hall. He achieved his greatest success in the 1930s with the zarzuelas ''Luisa Fernanda'' (1932) and ''La Chulapona'' (1934). He also composed several operas, of which ''La Virgen de Mayo'' (1925) and ''El Poeta'' (1980, with Plácido Domingo in the title role) are his best known.
