About Luigi Cherubini

Luigi Cherubini, born in Florence in 1760, was an Italian composer who made an indelible mark on both the Classical and Romantic eras, particularly in the realms of opera and sacred music. His journey took him to France, where he settled in 1785 and became a pivotal figure in the development of French opera. Cherubini's operatic works, which include opere serie, opéras comiques, and tragédies lyriques, are celebrated for their innovative techniques and compelling subject matter. His sacred compositions, including requiems, are equally renowned for their emotional depth and technical mastery.

Cherubini's influence extended beyond his compositions. As the director of the Paris Conservatoire from 1822, he mentored some of the most notable figures in music history, including Hector Berlioz and Frédéric Chopin. His contemporaries, such as Ludwig van Beethoven and Gioachino Rossini, held him in high regard, with Beethoven even considering Cherubini the greatest living composer of his time. Cherubini's legacy endures through his enduring works and the profound impact he had on the musical landscape of his era.
