	Benvenuto Cellini - DelTeatro.it
		Mentre Cellini riesce a fuggire, Fieramosca si nasconde nella stanza da letto di Teresa, dove viene scoperto: con sorpresa e indignazione, Balducci e Teresa chiamano a raccolta i vicini perché vengano a prelevare l’intruso e gli facciano fare un bel bagno nella fontana.
		Benvenuto Cellini non è soltanto il primo tentativo in campo teatrale di un giovane musicista di grande talento ma è anche una sorta di ritratto dell’artista da giovane, se non della giovinezza in quanto tale.
		La sfida di Cellini, portata a termine nelle condizioni più inverosimili, è la sfida di Berlioz: riuscire a compiere il capolavoro anche a costo di sacrificare quanto fino a quel momento era riuscito a creare.

		The Italian goldsmith and sculptor Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571) is considered the greatest goldsmith of the Italian Renaissance.

	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.
		That the Met produced the opera at all is cause for gratitude, particularly since Lyric Opera of Chicago cancelled its Cellini this season in favor of The Pirates of Penzance.
		Director Andrei Serban brought to the opera his experience with the 18th-century Venetian dramatist Carlo Gozzi: the stage was populated by playful commedia dell'arte characters — perhaps overpopulated, though there were also a number of highly composed stage pictures suggesting the golden-mean organization of images as codified by Leonardo da Vinci.

		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.

	PlaybillArts: Features: Defiant Struggle
		One reason for the opera's spectacular failure in 1838 was its origin as a comedy, intended for a smaller theater; another was the complexity of the orchestral writing and the rhythmic intricacy of almost every scene.
		The opera's historical setting (sixteenth-century Rome) provided an excellent opportunity for colorful costumes and décor, and although all dialogue had to be presented as recitative, not speech, the colloquial language and the unheroic tone of the verse was retained.
		Cellini is at the center of the action, fully serious about his love and his art, ready to kill or to die for either.

	Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini, Constant Reader Discussion
		Yet, at time Cellini tells his patrons that he refuses to do his art certain ways--that it is not in line, that it would lack what he terms "significance." I think if we look at this autobiography close enough we would find in Cellini's prose the seeds of romanticism.
		Most of Benvenuto's family is wiped out by the plague, people suffer wounds and bleed to death, a girl has some kind of "bone infection"in her finger and the doctor files off part of the bone while she suffers in agony.
		Cellini is not beneath writing nasty messages on the bathroom wall and on the wall of the church at that.

		In 1567 Benvenuto interrupted "La Vita" (which remained incomplete) to write his "Treatises" on "Goldsmithing" and "Sculpture", outstanding examples of educational insights and technical knowledge.

		According to Serban, it is the story of a reckless, genius artist who lives his life as a rebel, falls in love with the daughter of the finance minister, and is commissioned by the Pope to create a statue of Perseus.
		As Cellini's statue Perseus comes to life in front of the audience, you feel the triumph of art and the entire opera becomes a lyrical inquiry into the mystery of creation," says Serban.
		Opera is both different from and similar to theater.

	'Benvenuto Cellini' in Strasbourg, reviewed by Robert Hugill
		Berlioz's opera Benvenuto Cellini is an enormous undertaking for any opera company; the director of Opéra National du Rhin's new production, Renaud Doucet, describes mounting the opera as being like doing Carmen three times over.
		One of the reasons for travelling to Strasbourg to see the opera, besides Benvenuto Cellini's sheer rarity, was the fact that Opéra National du Rhin was mounting it with substantially Francophone case.
		When Berlioz was writing the opera, the common form of serious opera in Paris was the historical epic; so, though it has substantial comic elements, Benvenuto Cellini takes much of its theatrical form from this sort of spectacular theatrical experience.

		The concept of centring an opera on the casting of a statue, the great sculpture of Perseus, may be brilliant in relation to such a colourful artist as Cellini, but it presents obvious dramatic difficulties.
		Those emerged even before the opera was given its first performance in Paris in September 1838.
		Happily, the Paris Opera had preserved all the material from the beginning, so it has been possible to unsew and unglue passages in the score that were cut during the first rehearsals.

	Berlioz: Benvenuto Cellini / Ozawa, Bonisolli, Et Al \| ArkivMusic
		Cellini is written for a high tenor of heroic proportions (lots of his music is sung against full orchestra and/or chorus), Teresa must have flexibility and easy high notes, Balducci is a long character-baritone role that must fairly pop out of the drama, and the choral writing, particularly for the men, requires virtuosos.
		Franco Bonisolli as Cellini is a big-voiced Italian tenor who very rarely sings below a roar, but he performs with amazing conviction and security (and an added, uninvited-if-on-the-money high-D in his final aria), with clear French diction.
		Elisabeth Steiner as Ascanio, Cellini's apprentice, is hideous, and Fieramosca (Teresa's suitor) is well sung by Wolfgang Brendel but is blander than he should be.

		The opening, an 18-minute mini-opera wherein Cellini's planned execution in Florence's public square is halted by a pardon (shades of The Threepenny Opera), is expertly assembled and prodigiously rhymed: "Florence" alone is hooked with "warrants," "torrents," and "abhorrence." But, right away, something's amiss.
		Cellini is pardoned, the street vendors hawking "souvenirs of the hanging of Cellini" change their spiel to "souvenirs of the pardon of Cellini," and the story lurches forward.
		Cellini and Angela share a lovely waltz, "You're Far Too Near Me" (with some ingenious internal rhymes), but it sounds more sincere than this bounder of a hero deserves.

		The rest of the cast are equally "in" their roles, from the superbly loud-mouthed Fieramosca of Jean-François Lapointe to the nagging Balducci of Laurent Naouri.

		Eventually Fieramosca persuades the authorities of Cellini's activities and, with the statue of Perseus incomplete, Cellini is arrested and his commission passed to another artist.
		The overture, as is common in operas, actually attempts to run through the entire story, although it is quite impossible to guess what story is being told unless one has prepared oneself properly by reading the programme notes.

	NPR World Of Opera
		So when it came to writing his first opera, in the mid-1830’s, it’s not surprising that Berlioz chose a truly outrageous character as his subject: Benvenuto Cellini, a real life, 16th-century sculptor who was - at least according to his own press releases - one of the great defiant heroes of all time.
		The libretto of BENVENUTO CELLINI is based on the actual memoirs of the title character, a truly influential artist whose work survives today.
		If you can believe those memoirs - and they may be more fiction than fact - he was quite a character, a man destined for historic greatness, who encountered amazing adventures while defying everyone who got in his way - up to and including the Pope.
