Federico Romero
Federico Romero Saráchaga (11 November 1886 – 30 June 1976) was a Spanish poet and essayist. He is particularly known as a writer of
libretti, primarily for
zarzuelas. Although he was born in
Oviedo and lived at times in both
Zaragoza and
Madrid, he considered himself a son of Spain's
La Mancha region, where his family had lived from the early 20th century in the small town of
La Solana (
Ciudad Real). The zarzuela ''La rosa del azafrán'', composed by
Jacinto Guerrero to a libretto by Romero, is considered emblematic of the region.
