| Summary: | This essay studies the zarzuela <em>Los Cazadores</em> (1764), an adaptation of the opera buffa by Carlo Goldoni <em>Gli Uccellatori</em> (1759), which is said to have been made by Don Ramón de la Cruz. After a collation between the three existing witnesses of the zarzuela, the scholar uses Cesare Segre’s concept of dia-system to establish which of them stands closer to the intentions of the author. This established text is subsequently compared to the translation of the opera into Spanish made in Barcelona in 1760, allowing to demonstrate that the adaptation is based on the original, and not on the translation. This argument is used to sustain that indeed Ramón de la Cruz must be the author of the zarzuela, since his competence in the Italian language was deep enough to allow him to do the job. |
