Spanish name, the first or paternal
surname is Arrieta and the second or maternal family name is Corera.
Juan Pascual Antonio Arrieta Corera (20 October 1821 – 11 February 1894), also known as Emilio Arrieta, was a Spanish composer.
Arrieta was born in
Puente la Reina,
Navarre. His Italian musical training led him, under the favour of Queen
Isabel II, to concentrate on operatic writing; and though he later composed zarzuelas, he remained less committed to the renascent art form than his contemporaries such as
Francisco Asenjo Barbieri, who continued to write in an essentially Italianate style throughout his life. His zarzuelaMarina, one of the most popular lyric stage works in the Spanish repertoire, has been produced and recorded both on CD and DVD many times. Arrieta died in
Madrid, aged 70.
