Benvenuto Cellini was the first opera from the French composer Hector Berlioz. After reading the memoires of the 16th century sculptor Benvenuto Cellini, Berlioz had a strong feeling of connection and was inspired to write the opera. The story of Benvenuto Cellini is an interesting and dramatic tale. The overture has a stormy beginning, and with a sparkling energy the character of Benvenuto Cellini comes to life in this dazzling arrangement of Berlioz’s masterwork.
