description: "José Tamayo was a Spanish theatre director and producer, best known for his dramatic and zarzuela plays, epitomized by Antología de la Zarzuela. Born in Granada, Spain in 1920, 24-year old Tamayo began his theatrical journey in 1944 as part of a university theater group in Granada. He founded the Lope de Vega Company and, after performing in Valencia, he traveled to Madrid, where his company became the resident company of the Teatro Fuencarral. With this company, he popularized the genre of zarzuela, even beyond Spain."
