Sie waren unzertrennlich: Diego und Ramon. Der eine entscheidet sich nach dem Studium fur das Leben mit den Gipsys, der andere fur eine Karriere als Militarkommandant in Sudkalifornien. Die Geschichte einer Legende beginnt. Diego wird zum Mann mit der Maske, der den Freiheitswillen seiner Freunde gegen die Gewalt Ramons unterstutzt. ZORRO - das Musical mit der Musik der Gipsy Kings - basiert auf einem Roman von Isabel Allende.
