Milagro de amor (Miracle of Love) is a 1955 Costan Rican zarzuela by the composer Alcides Prado Quesada  [ pt ].

Prado's zarzuela, to a libretto by his wife Carmen Carvajal de Prado, was inspired by Costa Rican folklore. It premiered at the Teatro Nacional and was such a success that a 16mm filmed version was made under the direction of the impresario José Gamboa. [1] Gamboa's 16mm film was one of only three fictional films made in Costa Rica between 1955 and 1970. [2]
