¡Berlioz: "Benvenuto Cellini"
¡Classical V.A.
Description
[Machine Translation] Cellini, a prodigal but skilled sculptor, has a young lover, Teresa, with whom he is in love. However, a dispute with his love rival, Fieramosca, eventually leads him to commit murder and kidnapping, which puts him in an untenable position. On top of that, the sculpture commissioned by the Pope has not been completed, and he is in desperate need of help. Having been given one day's reprieve, Berlioz, who shared the art and free-spirited lifestyle of the 16th century sculptor Benvenuto Cellini, at once completed his first opera on a grand scale. Berlioz is reported to have said in later years, "It is impossible to reproduce so many ideas with such vitality and vigor. This production, a comedy with many episodes, is a spectacle of romance, action, and comedy, made possible by Terry Gilliam's colorful and lively direction. John Osborne as the title character, Mariangela Sicilia as the heroine, Teresa, and Laurent Naouri as Fieramosca, all of whom are excellent singers, bring the production to life with their skilled performances.
