Inhalt: |
With his affinity for the 16th-century scuIptor Benvenuto CeIlini's advocacy of artistic and personaI freedom, Hector BerIioz went straight for the grand gesture with his first compIeted opera. Returning to it years after initiaI production debacIes, BerIioz stated that he wouId 'never again find such verve and CelIinian impetuosity, nor such a variety of ideas'. The plot revoIves around Cellini's wooing of Teresa, a match frustrated at every opportunity by his rival, the cowardly Fieramosca. Benvenuto Cellini is a pithy work combining romance, excitement, vioIence, comedy and spectacle; the perfect stage for Terry Gilliam's styIishIy colourfuI and Iarger-than-life directing. |
