Short bio Tomas Breton
Full biography Tomas Breton
Tomás Bretón y Hernández (29 December 1850 – 2 December 1923) was a Spanish composer and conductor. He is perhaps best known for his work in the zarzuela genre, a Spanish form of musical theater that blends operatic singing with spoken dialogue. Bretón was a key figure in the development of the zarzuela as a serious art form in Spain, and he composed more than 50 works in the genre throughout his career.
In addition to his work in zarzuela, Bretón also composed a number of symphonic works, including symphonies, suites, and tone poems. He was a proponent of Spanish national music and often incorporated elements of Spanish folk music into his compositions.
Bretón was also an influential teacher and conductor. He taught at the Madrid Royal Conservatory, where he helped to train a generation of Spanish musicians, and he served as the director of the Madrid Symphony Orchestra and the Teatro Real. He was a prominent figure in Spanish musical circles throughout his career, and he is remembered today as one of the greatest Spanish composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
