Opera matinee: Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini
Berlioz's first opera, Benvenuto Cellini, from the Paris National Opera. John Osborn takes the title role while Pretty Yende is his lover Teresa. Philippe Jordan conducts.
In our Opera Matin茅e: Berlioz's first opera, Benvenuto Cellini, a semi-comical story, largely fictional, based on the flamboyant Florentine sculptor who manages to triumph against all odds in both love and art as he gains the heart of his lover Teresa while fulfilling a significant commission by Pope Clement VII. The American tenor John Osborn takes the title role, while the South African soprano Pretty Yende is Teresa. Philippe Jordan conducts a starry cast at the helm of the Paris National Opera Orchestra and Chorus, in a recording made last year.
