Meurice whom Saint-Saëns knew well had collaborated with Alexandre Dumas père on his novel Benvenuto Cellini published in 1843 and had fashioned a successful play from the story in 1852. To avoid confusion with Berlioz's opera the title was changed even though Cellini is still the principal character in the drama and a scene in the play where Cellini runs out of metal when casting a statue was not included. The choice of an episode from Cellini's life that took place in France at the court of François I satisfied Saint-Saëns' longstanding desire to base his operas on French history and by casting the third act as a fête at Fontainebleau a departure from Meurice's play he found an opportunity for an extensive divertissement of 12 dances very much in the spirit and to some extent in the style of French Baroque opera."

In the meantime Saint-Saëns had recomposed the dialogue to form a grand opera version which was not played until 1913. The music is enormously fluent and versatile . There are some bold scenic ideas including a theatre seen from the back of the stage and some fanciful transformations. It seems no coincidence that the opera's 18 performances in 1877 exactly coincided with Offenbach's first concentrated labours on Les contes d'Hoffmann." Hugh Macdonald in Grove Music Online.
