About The Program

The Jarvis Conservatory was built for Zarzuela.  Between 1995 and 2008 several internationally celebrated productions were staged at the Jewel Box Theater, housed in the Jarvis Conservatory complex.  Singers, dancers, musicians and designers from around the world collaborated on these elaborate shows.  Join us as we revisit these timeless pieces and relive the magic of the Spanish Zarzuela.
