context
In the early 1900s, Avenida Rizal was abounded with theaters and restaurants; Teatro Libertad and Zorilla Theater, attracting the well-dressed crowd to their zarzuella shows and operas on weekends. [Source: Wikipedia]The Teatro Zorrilla or Zorrilla Theatre, also known as the Duláang Zorrilla sa Maynila ("Zorrilla Theater in Manila") in Tagalog, was a prominent theatre in the Philippines. Once located along Calle Iris (now a part of C.M. Recto Avenue), Manila, the theatre was named after José Zorrilla (1817 - 1893), a Spanish poet and playwright. The building, which had a seating capacity of 900 people, was officially opened on 17 August 1893, and it was the venue for Spanish-language and Tagalog-language stage performances (English)
