Walang Sugat is probably the most popular zarzuela to ever grace Philippine Theater. The words of the zarzuela was written by the legendary Severino Reyes, popularly known as "Lola Basyang," and the music was written by the composer Fulgencio Tolentino. It was performed in 1902 at Teatro Libertad in Manila. Subsequent performances by the tandem of soprano Maria Carpena and tenor Victorino Carrion were immensely popular and made the zarzuela into a phenomenal success. three film adaptations were made on the zarzuela: A silent film on 1913, and feature films on 1939 and 1957.
