García Gutiérrez, Antonio
Born Oct. 5, 1813, in Chiclana, province of Cádiz; died Aug. 26, 1884, in Madrid. Spanish playwright. García Gutiérrez’ drama The Troubadour (1836; opera by Verdi, 1853) showed the conflict of its hero with the world of feudal oppression. The Page (1837), The Valencian Stranger (1840), The King’s Treasurer (1850), and the psychological tragedy Simon Boccanegra (1843; Verdi opera, 1857) are dramas of romantic passions. The plots of the plays The King-Monk (1837), The Wedding of Doña Sancha (1843), Catalonian Vengeance (1864), and Juan Lorenzo (1865) are borrowed from the Spanish romancero and popular legends.
