DEVILISHLY DETAILED
f the great European legends, the Faust myth looms learned much from his time turning back the clock. It is clear from large: the tale of a man dissatisfied with mature life the prologue to Goethe’s epic that it is not the Creator’s intent that Owho longs for youth and its blandishments. The devil Faust go to Hell, but rather that he should gain wisdom. Thus offers him a year of youth in exchange for his immortal soul. I am Mephistopheles is allowed to offer him the bargain of a year of youth always impressed by the Germanic vision of the devil here: not for his soul. The Heavens know that the devil will lose the bargain. as an omnipotent opponent of God but as a truly fallen angel. In Like America’s Daniel Webster who sends the devil packing back the words of Goethe “the spirit that wishes to do evil and finally to Hell despite a hung jury of lost souls, Faust escapes at the end furthers good.” and, though his salvation is not as remarkable as Marguerite’s, he is certainly redeemed: thrown back to his own very human existence What do we know about Faust? Like every other title character to live out his fate without the benefit of the dark arts. in this year’s HOT season he is based on a historical personage. Johann Faustus is reputed to have lived in Nuremberg sometime And what of the devil? We are shown only one incarnation of hell: in the 1400s and to have been an alchemist and sometime healer Mephistopheles. An attractive and seductive fallen angel whose who had extensive knowledge of the dark side of human existence. energy infuses the village where Marguerite is resident, to give An academic, his relationship to good or evil is murky at best. In Faust his taste of youth regained. But he is far from omnipotent. The villagers can make him cower before the cross, and though we can imagine that he is not innocent of Marguerite’s fate, his power I]^h^hVi^bZaZhhaZ\ZcY wanes against the simplicity of her steadfast beliefs. It is not that evil d[\ddYVcYZk^aVcY cannot triumph but it does not here, despite the tricks and joy that Mephistopheles brings to his mission. In the cosmos established for i]Z\gdjcY^cWZilZZc Faust, the devil is but a part and parcel of creation: as much a part [gdbWn\dcZi^bZh# of the system and of humanity as we are ourselves. This is a timeless legend of good and evil and the ground in the Murnau 1920s film he is portrayed as a healer who has lost his between, it must be seen as such: a legend from bygone times when way: the sad puppet of a very decadent devil. In the opera he is one could believe that an external evil wandered the streets. It is an older man and then a very young lover, a bit naïve and a bit much easier than fighting an internal demon as later operas and incompetent to control the force that is supposedly serving him for later authors do. The murkiness of an internal evil is something a year before he surrenders his soul. Other opera composers have that will plague humanity through our own time. How much more seen him differently. comfortable to witness it outside our being!
Yet Gounod’s Faust gives us something else to concentrate on: Opera audiences are spellbound by Gounod’s heroine, the village =Zcgn<#6`^cV maiden Marguerite who is opposed to all the blandishments of the devil, though not immune to Faust’s wooing. However, things start getting odd when she finds herself with child and, cursed by her own brother, she goes mad and is finally imprisoned for having caused the death of her child. In her madness she appeals to God and is redeemed. We know from Goethe, whose Faust epic forms the basis of our feast, that Faust will also be redeemed and not have to sit out his time in Hell but we hope that he will have

500 YEARS OF DEALING WITH THE DEVIL THE EVOLUTION OF FAUST
aust’s legendary deal with the Devil has intrigued creative and Romanticism with his play Faust. The subject haunted him minds for centuries, perhaps reaching its zenith in the music, for most of his life, producing a drama in two stages (1808, 1832). Fvisual arts and literature of the Romantic period. The story It opens with a wager between God and Mephistopheles: Faust’s reaches back to early 16th-century Germany, an era of religious clouded ways give the Lord much concern, and Mephistopheles turmoil and upheaval, when it was commonly believed Satan was bets he can sway Faust completely to the dark side. The learned just around the corner. The namesake of the drama, Dr. Johann philosopher is clearly disillusioned with his science and is tempted Faust, was educated at the University of Heidelberg and studied by youth and the possibility of adventure (“Too old for play; too divinity at Wittenberg, but was forced to flee under suspicion of young to be without love”). The tragedy devoted to Gretchen is dabbling in the black arts. (Faust himself denied nothing, boldly secondary and their meeting almost accidental. referring to the Devil as his “brother-in-law” and the spirit of Helen of Troy as his mistress). It is said that he met with a violent end, French playwright Michel Carré transformed Goethe’s epic perhaps by a sleight of alchemy gone awry. drama into a boulevard drama for the Gymnase-Dramatique via a translation by Gérard de Nerval. He took several liberties to 6cZgVl]Zck^gijdh^lZgZ make the piece suit the palate of his bourgeois audience. Siébel, only one of several students in Goethe’s story, assumes a more i]dj\]iid]VkZVXfj^gZY prominent role as Marguerite’s suitor and Faust’s rival. Valentin also is given more dialogue — an earlier entrance establishes him iZX]c^fjZWnlVnd[VYZVa as Marguerite’s guardian and protector, eliminating the unseen role l^i]i]ZYVg`h^YZ# of Marguerite’s mother. Marguerite is not imprisoned for murder and is punished only for her adulterous affair with Faust. Such a colorful figure hardly could have gone unnoticed, and various treatments of the good doctor’s life began to emerge almost When Théâtre Lyrique director Léon Carvalho got hold immediately after his death. Festival puppet plays communicated of the play, he pushed for further changes. To keep in strict the morality tale to the illiterate, and printed chapbooks began competition with his main rival, the Opéra, the drama had to circulate at county fairs for those who could read.

Thus, the Spiess’s Historia von Doktor Johann Fausten (1587) emerged Walpurgisnacht scene, which has little bearing on the action of the as a popular version (sensationally translated into English as story, was reintroduced from Goethe to provide that extra element The History of the Damnable Life and Deserved Death of Dr. John of spectacle. Marguerite is tormented for her crime of infanticide but Faustus) and inspired a dramatic interpretation by Shakespeare’s is forgiven — the apotheosis of her ascension to the heavens being contemporary, Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593). In this case it is yet another scene right out of grand opéra. (It’s hardly surprising Faust who aggressively pursues a contract with the Devil, and with that when Gounod’s Faust plays in Germany, it is invariably titled Mephistopheles as his guide, he makes his way through the courts Margarete, to remind the unwitting viewer that the opera has only of Europe, creating tricks and feats of magic for heads of state. a passing similarity to Goethe’s treasured masterpiece.) Throughout he is tormented by two angels — one good and one bad — and repentance is always a viable option (at least until the 1800s very end). Oddly out of character, Faust chooses that particular The Faust saga was especially enticing to composers of the moment to make a pathetic plea to God for salvation, but it is too Romantic period.

As in Gounod’s opera, Faust contemplates Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), a member of the Sturm drinking poison when Méphistophélès first visits (as a poodle in und Drang movement, bridged the gap between Enlightenment this particular instance) and offers to fulfill all his desires.

A classic love story told in a more intimate way… A magnificent story of love told against the backdrop of war and slavery. This retelling of the AIDA story holds the chorus in a fixed place, without Egyptian costumes, to focus on the core of the work as an intimate and tragic story of star-crossed lovers. They become a Greek chorus: witnesses to the tragic love of Aida for Radames, and the seething jealousy of the princess Amneris. The passion of the work transcends the borders of time, class and society. '%&'HZVhdc * See page 13 for details.
