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: Covent Garden har bir mavsumda o'rtasida eshitildi 1863 va 1911. Jules Barbier and Michel Carré’s libretto is a tale of romance, qiziqtirish, va shaytoniy kuchlar va din o'rtasidagi azaliy kurash. 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, Evropa adabiyotining buyuk asarlaridan biri.

David McVicar’s lavish production, birinchi ko'rgan 2004, sets the action in the Paris of Gounod’s later years, Franco-Prussiya urushi arafasida. Charles Edwards’s designs include a memorable Cabaret d’Enfer and an impressive reconstruction of the Church of Saint-Séverin. Ular yaqqol din va hedonist ko'ngilochar o'rtasida to'qnashuv etkazaman, 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, Margaret etarkan vasvasaga qarshi najot topishiga.
