One of the most famous zarzuela (Spanish operetta) pieces in the género chico ("smaller genre") is La Verbena de la Paloma ("The Fair of the Dove") set at a verbena on the night of the Virgin of the Paloma, August 14 ; it was also made into a 1963 movie.
There is also a 1939 film called Verbena Tragica ( also known as Tragic Festival).
The song Verbena de San Cayetano celebrates a verbena in Madrid.

Famous quotes containing the word artistic:
“The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, who follows blind instinct, strives to duplicate the reality of nature. The first one elevates art to its highest peak; the second one lowers it to its basest level.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
