BERLIOZ - Overture Benvenuto Cellini, Op. 23 (London Symphony Orchestra)
Louis-Hector Berlioz (1803-1869) One of the greatest Berlioz Operas
Benvenuto Cellini is an opera semiseria in four tableaux (spread across two or three acts) by Hector Berlioz, his first full-length work for the stage. Premiered at the Académie Royale de Musique (Salle Le Peletier) on 10 September 1838, it is a setting of a libretto by Léon de Wailly and Henri Auguste Barbier who were inspired by the memoirs of the titular Florentine sculptor but who invented most of the plot. The opera is technically challenging and was until the 21st century rarely performed. But its overture sometimes features in orchestral concerts, as does the concert overture Le carnaval romain which Berlioz composed from material in the opera.
