BÉATRICE ET BÉNÉDICT

Specialty Definition: Béatrice et Bénédict

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Béatrice et Bénédict is a comic opera by Hector Berlioz The libretto was written by Berlioz himself based loosely on Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. It was first performed in Baden-Baden on August 9, 1862.

Berlioz completed the score to this two-act work between the completion and production of his magnum opus, the monumental opera Les Troyens. Shortly after its sucessful premiere in Baden, Berlioz conducted the first two performances of a German version in Weimar, where he was "overwhelmed by all sorts of kind attention," as he recorded in his memoirs.

Béatrice et Bénédict is infrequently performed and never became part of the standard operatic repertoire. There are several recordings of it.
