"Si Rizal at ang mga Diwata: Zarzuelang Tagalog na may Dalawang Yugto" by Jose N. Sevilla is a two-act Tagalog zarzuela written in the early 20th century. This theatrical piece centers around the life and ideals of Dr. José Rizal, a national hero of the Philippines, exploring themes of sacrifice, duty, and national pride. The narrative likely highlights Rizal's values and philosophies through interactions with allegorical characters representing beauty, honor, wealth, and joy, emphasizing the importance of service to one's country and family. The story unfolds with a young Rizal reflecting on his responsibilities towards his mother and his country, expressing a deep sense of duty amid his personal struggles. Throughout the play, he encounters various diwata, or fairies, who embody different virtues and temptations, urging him to seek personal happiness and abandon his worries. However, Rizal remains steadfast in his commitment to his mother and the well-being of the Filipino people, ultimately rejecting the offered distractions. The zarzuela serves not only as a tribute to Rizal's heroism but also as a call to action for his fellow Filipinos, urging them to take responsibility for their homeland and support one another in times of hardship.
