Ni Fú - Ni Fá y la Zarzuela - Carnaval de Santa Cruz de Tenerife 2027verified
Ni Fú-Ni Fá bring a programme devoted to zarzuela to Plaza del Príncipe de Asturias, within the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Carnival 2027. The idea crosses the repertoire of Spanish lyric theatre with the light hearted tone of a carnival group from the city, in a morning open air session. The square, with its large Indian laurel trees and its bandstand, is one of the regular stages of the daytime carnival. The concert starts at 11:00 on Sunday 28 February 2027.
Ni Fú-Ni Fá is one of the recognisable names of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife carnival, and for this date the group turns to zarzuela, the Spanish lyric genre that for decades was genuinely popular music, sung at home and whistled in the street. The pairing makes sense within carnival: zarzuela lives on choruses, on ensemble numbers and on a humour of everyday manners that connects easily with the carnival way of telling a story. It is a morning session, to be enjoyed standing or sitting on the edge of the square, with part of the audience already in costume.
Plaza del Príncipe de Asturias, in the old centre of Santa Cruz, is a historic square shaded by large Indian laurel trees with a bandstand at its heart, a few minutes from Calle Castillo. During carnival it serves as one of the natural stages of the daytime programme. The concert takes place on Sunday 28 February 2027 from 11:00. There are no numbered seats and no booking, so it is worth allowing time if you want to be near the stage, and bringing something for the sun, which by that hour already bites in the open parts of the square.
