English National Opera: Terry Gilliams Benvenuto Cellini ( LIVE)

Unseen in London for many years, and never previously at ENO, Berlioz s Benvenuto Cellini is forged anew at the London Coliseum by director Terry Gilliam and ENO Music Director Edward Gardner the identical pairing responsible for the company s awardwinning The Damnation of Faust in 2011. That production unleashed Gilliam s inexhaustible imagination as a storyteller of the first order, and Benvenuto Cellini offers this theatrical showman an equally rich canvas simply begging for his special flair.
