Faust
Charles-François Gounod was a XIX century French composer, best known for his Ave Maria. His opera “Faust” based on Goethe’s poem is, indeed a composition derived from the play “Faust et Marguerite” by Michele Carré. This is a fantastic opera about an old doctor who sold his soul to Devil for youth and pleasure. Mephistopheles, the Devil is his companion to new adventures of love and seduction that dishonors Marguerite, a cast and pure girl. This is an opera of repentance and redemption.
