De Falla won, but the opera had to wait until 1913 and undergo a long process of revision before it went on stage at the Municipal Casino in Nice. It was a resounding success. The best of the opera lies in its picturesque parts: impressions of the Spanish land, feeling for landscape, for the sky, the day, the time all envelop the characters like a subtle atmosphere: the picturesque is thus intimately bound up with the life of the drama. ‘Goyescas’ by Enrique Granados was first performed in public three years after ‘La vida breve’.
