 * I don't know what RS is. I'm a fan of zarzuela. It is a somewhat obscure genre in the United States, both in the classical music circles and the musical theatre circles. The nominations (there were three of them for the show) and one win was an important moment for the genre, but was also barely mentioned in the Washington Post. This soprano has been pushing for more recognition of the genre for years, as well as other classical music in Spanish.

 * I apologize for the jargon. RS means "reliable sources" that are not closely affiliated with the article subject. In order to keep the article it's necessary to have coverage of Virella in such sources. Unfortunately that can mean that some topics that are obscure or less popular are harder for us to cover.
