	Benvenuto Cellini
		BENVENUTO CELLINI was one of the enigmatic, larger-than-life figures of the Italian Renaissance: a celebrated sculptor, goldsmith, author and soldier, but also a hooligan and even avenging killer.
		The son of a musician and builder of musical instruments, Cellini's first major brush with the law came as an early teenager: He was banished from his native Florence for his alleged role in a brawl.
		Among Cellini's surviving works dating to this early period in his career is a gold medallion with carved stone inset, "Leda and the Swan," created for Gonfaloniere Gabbrello Cesarino and now in the collection of the museum at Vienna.

		I have spoken of Benvenuto as a superman, and herein, too he is a result of the astounding development of the individual witnessed by the Renaissance.
		Benvenuto vies with Pietro Aretino for notoriety as an exponent of that Paganism which was a consequence, on one hand, of the indiscriminate acceptance of all that was ancient, even the license of decadent Rome, and, on the other, of the inevitable degeneration of self-development into self-gratification.

		Cellini, while employed at the papal mint at Rome during the papacy of Clement VII and later of Paul III, executed the dies of several coins and medals, some of which still survive at this now defunct mint.

		Cellini himself would not only design what he saw in his perfervid visions but he would do much of the physical work, no matter how hard or dangerous it might be.
		Cellini, if need be could do all the work himself, from the initial sketchings to the elaborate, backbreaking casting (what is depicted in the opera is inevitably much simplified) to seeing that the work was delivered appropriately.
		Cellini might have had to outmaneuver a queen or two, but there was always that central, art-loving figure that could be appealed to.

	classical music - andante - benvenuto cellini at the metropolitan opera
		Yet even in the Metropolitan Opera's somewhat troubled production, the long-neglected Benvenuto Cellini — with cast and orchestra on opening night still very much in the process of absorbing the piece — Berlioz' first opera emerged as a unique, hybrid work of staggering invention whose only major sin is a lack of practicality.
		Inspired by the composer's years in Rome, where he observed the alternately joyous and grotesque Carnival season, Benvenuto Cellini began life as a candidate for Paris's OpÃ©ra-Comique; Berlioz refitted the score with recitatives to replace the spoken dialogue for the Paris OpÃ©ra, where it flopped at its 1838 premiere.
		Isabel Bayrakdarian, a Handel/Mozart soprano, brought beautifully focused coloratura to the role of Teresa (Cellini's betrothed), and she was the only cast member with a consistent grasp of Berlioz's idiosyncratic vocal lines.

		Benvenuto Cellini was a celebrated goldsmith and distinguished sculptor, yet it is on his autobiography that much of his fame rests.
		However, as he was an active participant in the wars and struggles of the period, and drew his friends and enemies from all levels of society, it became a vivid and convincing portrait of the manners and morals both of the rulers of the sixteenth century and of their subjects.
		With enviable powers of invective and an irrepressible sense of humour, reflected in an equally vigorous and extravagant style, Cellini has provided an intriguing and unrivalled glimpse into the palaces and prisons of the Italy of Michelangelo and the Medici.
