We arrive in France. Charles Gounod is the
author of the most famous devilish opera, Faust,
based on Goethe. Faust is an old and bitter philos-
opher, who bargains his soul for youth and power.
“Here you will be my master...bout won below...
down below”, says Mephistopheles, the evil one.
Faust was given its first performance in 1895. It
is considered the French opera “par excellance”. It
has all the makings of greatness. The characters
are interesting, the story develops excitingly...
There is a splendid witches Sabbath that evokes
queens of Antiquity ion the famous Walpurgis
night that Gounod turned into a splendid bal-
let. Faust is not a villain but a selfish being who
downfall occurs when Marguerite dies and is led
to heaven. Mephistopheles is the typical dark
knight, full of mischief, although fun, a “bon vi-
vant” and enjoys pranks...He does not frighten us,
on the contrary...
