**Title:** Hector Berlioz’s *Benvenuto Cellini* – 2007 Salzburg Festival Production
**DESCRIPTION:**
Blending futuristic aesthetics reminiscent of *Metropolis*, fantastical elements akin to *Batman*, and architectural inspirations from Piranesi’s *Carceri*, this groundbreaking staging reimagines Berlioz’s 19th-century opera. Critic Marianne Zelger-Vogt (*Neue Zürcher Zeitung*) praises its bold fusion of theatrical montage, robotic designs, and avant-garde visuals, including a helicopter, shark, and the iconic “pop star Pope” chariot.
Long absent from stages due to its perceived complexity, *Benvenuto Cellini* defies expectations in this electrifying Salzburg Festival production. Director Philipp Stölzl (known for collaborations with Madonna and Mick Jagger) infuses cinematic flair into grand opera, while Valery Gergiev leads the Vienna Philharmonic in a triumphant realization of Berlioz’s visionary score.
