The importance of Music in Hispanic theatre was so important that it required the presence of musicians in the professional companies since their appearance around the mid 16th century. This was especially so in the groups that acted in Madrid, city and court, due to the fact that these musicians interpreted and implemented the innovations introduced by the chamber musicians serving the Royal Family (Casa Real ) in the court theatre, the true motor behind the hispanic musical theatre. This was interpreted by the same musicians and actors who presented plays in the popular theatres. However, the important role these musicians played was overshadowed by the actress-musicians with whom they worked. In spite of their intermediate position within the companies, the musicians carried out an essential role in the success of the productions, contributing decisively to their survival and viability.
