We heard an orchestral piece this morning by Spain’s Gerónimo Giménez. He was a prolific composer who excelled in a distinctly Spanish form of light opera, which has been experiencing a renaissance over the last two decades. (The Giménez piece is titled “La boda de Luis Alonso”.) What is the name of this Spanish genre of musical theater?
