Angela Gheorghiu as Marguerite sings the Jewel Song from Act III of Gounod’s Faust.
Charles-François Gounod’s Faust was once one of the most famous and most performed of all operas: コヴェント·ガーデンでは、季節ごとの間を聞きました 1863 と 1911. Jules Barbier and Michel Carré’s libretto is a tale of romance, 誘惑, と悪魔の力と宗教の昔の戦い. It is based on Carré’s play Faust et Marguerite, which in turn is based on Part I of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s dramatic poem Faust, ヨーロッパ文学の偉大な作品の一つ.
David McVicar’s lavish production, 最初に見ました 2004, sets the action in the Paris of Gounod’s later years, 普仏戦争の前夜に. Charles Edwards’s designs include a memorable Cabaret d’Enfer and an impressive reconstruction of the Church of Saint-Séverin. 彼らは生き生きと宗教と快楽主義エンターテインメント間の衝突を伝えます, and provide a powerful backdrop to Gounod’s score. Faust contains much-loved musical highlights including the memorable Soldiers’ Chorus, Méphistophélès’s rowdy ‘Song of the Golden Calf’, and Marguerite’s Jewel Song with its dazzling coloratura. The opera’s final scene includes an impassioned trio between Faust, Marguerite and Méphistophélès, マルグリットは誘惑に抵抗し、救いを得るのに苦労するように.
