For 10 points, name this opera by Hector Berlioz, titled after the creator of a salt-cellar for Francis I and a sculpture depicting Perseus with the Medusa's head
This work's failure can be attributed to the fact it was revised with the premiere of Giacomo Meyerbeer's The Huguenots, or the failure of Gilbert-Louis Duprez to actually sing in his role. One aria in this two-act opera "Sur les monts les plus savages" praises country life. Its most notable trio appears in the Carnaval scene and is called "Demain soir, mardi gras." Its title character, who had spent too much money on wine in a tavern and who had stabbed (*) Pompeo, previously earns a pardon for the latter from the pope at the end of this operatic work. In its climatic scene, the title character orders all of his metal be melted in order to create an artwork that will please the aforementioned pope, much to the chagrin of Franchesco and Bernardino.
