On 14 May, the Sala Sinfónica (Symphony Hall) at the National Music Auditorium will host the fourth edition of the San Isidro Lyrical Gala devoted to zarzuela, which coincides with the San Isidro Festivities. Organised by the Sinfolírica Foundation, the proceeds from the gala will go to San Juan de Dios Hospital and this year’s edition will include the performance of the renowned soprano, Ainhoa Arteta.
