ZUMAYA, Manuel (thoo-mah'-yah), Mexican clergyman, born in the city of Mexico about 1670; died in Oaxaca about 1740. He studied theology in the College of San Ildefonso, but early showed a proclivity for music, and was appointed director of the choir of the cathedral in his native city. On account of his dramatic and musical talent, he was a favorite of the viceroys, Dukes of Albuquerque and of Linares, and he translated several Italian operas for representation in the viceregal palace. In 1737 he followed the bishop-elect of Oaxaca to his diocese, where he became rector of the cathedral and devoted himself thenceforth exclusively to his clerical duties. Besides the operas translated from the Italian, he is the author of "El Rodrigo," a drama represented in the viceregal palace to celebrate the birth of the crown-prince Luis (Mexico, 1708), and "La Partenope," an opera, text, and music by Zumaya (1711).
