Gounod's opera "Faust

The Opéra du Rhône presents its latest production: "Faust", an opera in five acts by Charles Gounod.

The work tells the story of Faust, a disillusioned old scholar who makes a pact with Mephistopheles to regain his youth and pleasure in exchange for his soul. Young again, he seduces Marguerite, an innocent young girl. Their passionate love turns tragic: Marguerite becomes pregnant, is abandoned, and sinks into despair. Her brother Valentin challenges Faust to a duel, but dies cursing Marguerite. Devastated, she kills her child and ends up in prison. Faust tries to save her with Mephistopheles, but Marguerite, repentant, refuses. Thanks to her faith, she obtains divine redemption, while Faust is dragged into eternal damnation.

The opera will be performed at the Théâtre du Martolet on November 9, 12, 14 and 16, 2025.
