He gained renown as a result of the success of his many operas, although his zarzuelas were well received works. He directed the company musically for the first time in Santander. After his death, his extensive production was generally forgotten by musicologists who try to darken reality. During his career he covered most of the musical areas of the Bourbon Restoration period (1875-1885), opera director, renowned orchestral conductor, composer of operas, zarzuelas, symphonic and chamber music. In 1860 was director of Teatro de la Zarzuela of Madrid. After a long controversy that delayed its premieres, the Italian operas ascended to its definitive consolidation.
