Biography
Chaplain of the Royal Convent of the Incarnation, spent his life busy in charity missions, an activity that he combined with the cultivation of poetry (Bitterness of death and Christian thoughts, 1731) and, above all, of the theater, an area in which it constitutes a fundamental link within the late-Baroque theater, under which it is placed next to playwrights such as José de Cañizares and Antonio de Zamora. ..... In the field of mythological zarzuela, a spectacular genre par excellence in which the various eighteenth-century mills made free use of the classical references by virtue of comedy, Añorbe and Co Rregel tempted his chords in Jupiter and Dánae, a piece where the myth classic is spiced up with numerous anachronisms and characters outside him, such as the funny Mamurrias. But, without a doubt, his best-known work is the tragedy El Paulino (1740), imitation of the Cinna of Pierre Corneille, even though the cover page appears pompously "new tragedy to French fashion, with all the rigor of art." The dramatic production of Añorbe is completed with some short pieces, such as the Entremés del Mudo, 1734, or Second Sainete, or The Matter of Casting Ladies and Galants (1734) and a good bouquet of comedies ( Lovers of Salerno, 1739; Nullities of love , 1734, and La Segismunda , 1739) among others.
