Gerónimo Giménez Bellido, Seville, 10-X-1854;Madrid, 19-II-1923, was a composer with a thorough musical training, which brought him tremendous success in the world of zarzuela.The extraordinary popularity of his sainete El baile de Luis Alonso o El mundo comedia es (1897), paved the way for a second part La boda de Luis Alonso o la noche del encierro (1897), which surpassed the former in quality and public acclaim.
