Jugar con fuego (Playing with Fire) is a zarzuela in three acts by Francisco Asenjo Barbieri, to a Spanish libretto by Ventura de la Vega. The first performance took place at the Teatro del Circo in Madrid on 6 October 1851, and it rapidly became a cornerstone of the romantic zarzuela repertoire.[1] The title refers to how dangerous it is to play with love.
