The lecture of the cycle La Pieza del Mes: La Gran Vía no es sólo una calle… es una zarzuela, by José María Soto de Lanuza, will talk about the zarzuela de género chico of the same name, composed in 1886 by Federico Chueca and Joaquín Valverde, which ironized about the project.
In 1886 the first plan for the creation of the Gran Vía was approved. This project was the origin of the zarzuela, but the works were not carried out due to the opposition of the neighbors, the lack of budget and the death of its creator and promoter, the architect Carlos Velasco.
The final plan was approved in 1901, but the works were not inaugurated until April 4, 1910, in a ceremony attended by King Alfonso XIII and José Canalejas, head of the government, which gives an idea of the importance given to the work at the time.

Ducazcal, whose extraordinary adventures could very well have been the protagonist of a novel, had been a member of the sinister «partida de la porra», which in the middle of the Revolutionary Sexennium assaulted newspaper offices not in favor of General Prim’s government. The author of the operetta La Corte de Faraón, Don Vicente Lleó, was inspired by this party for the composition of his work La partida de la porra, of 1910.
Among this generalized controversy about whether Madrid needed a great avenue or not, the idea of the libretto would arise, which was written by the journalist and writer Felipe Pérez y González, and the composers Federico Chueca and Joaquín Valverde were in charge of the musical composition. Maestro Chueca, due to his lack of understanding of musical technique, was in charge of the melodic invention of the works, while his collaborator Valverde was in charge of their harmonization and instrumentation. It is well known the dispute that always existed between the wives of both, about who had the real merit of the zarzuelas composed by both of them.
