As a college freshman I went to see my first opera: Faust, performed at the San Antonio, TX, Municipal Theater, with stars from the Metropolitan Opera in NYC. I remembered the finale with Marguerita being Saved and lifted into the rafters of Heaven. LOL. But I hadn't found such a deus ex machina treatment on UA-cam until I found this one. Now seeing this beautiful production, like Faust himself I feel young again!
Wonderful performance, thanks for sharing!
Dear Deborah Riedel, Australian soprano, now passed, bless her
Ой какая редкость, классическая постановка без "вывертов"!
Спасибо.
Una produzione veramente stupenda del capolavoro di Gounod
Merci Milqar de nous offrir ce spectacle.
Don't forget the conductor, John Nelson who is a master at this style and always connected to the inner life of the music. There is no Walpurgisnacht probably because the opera house could not afford the amount of overtime the orchestra would demand since this opera is already quite long.
wouldnt you love to have been there at the premiere of Faust!? the actual premiere- the first time for Faust ever to be played
No. I'm happy to watch it now.
+AlcaeusTnr You think....? :-)
Only if it was a good performance! 😅
Oui, j’aurais bien aimé être présent, pour découvrir les premiers décors, les premiers chanteurs, leur performance, celle de l’orchestre et quel a été l’accueil du public à cette première. Il y aurait sûrement beaucoup à dire…
I just thank u🎻🎵
Ramey 💖
Fabulous and intelligent production by Robert Carsen, director!
currocarreres Very well done indeed. The central cast performed very well. Samuel Ramey is an absolute wonder my friends. Sincerely Arnold Bourbon Amaral
Thrilling!🧛♀️🪦⚰
Jugée....sauvée, quel final Charles.
Fabulous!
Oeuvre fantastique
Per ora è la migliore produzione di Faust che ho trovato su youtube
Non è male anche quello del 1985 Bologna con Silvano Carroli , Dessì, Aragall e quello di Raimondi con Araiza sempre del 1985.
Excellent production!
nice borrowing from the Easter Vigil for the Christ est ressucite, spreading the light around
Valentin is really amazing!
Huanhuan Ma Agreed!!
Wagner and Valentin should switch roles.
Is this available on DVD?
Es lamentable que los responsables de la puesta en escena desconozcan la intención del autor. Fausto es una obra maestra, con una hermosa mirada de fe. Parece que el registro olvidó ésto.

I swear Samuel Ramey was channeling Vincent Price or Bela Lugosi every time he plays the devil

In this production, is that Ramey at the very end as the priest?
I suspect that because Goethe was anti clergy as was Gounod, that indeed he's the devil in the church. In other productions, note that Marguerite does not repent to a priest. She reaches salvation only by her faith and without the help of the church.
@@TeachUBusiness As regards Gounod, I am not sure that he was anticlerical... His highest desire was to be a religious composer but is best remembered for his operas (Faust, Mireille, Romeo et Juliette...). But he also composed many oratorios (Mors et Vita, Les sept dernières paroles du Christ...), religious pieces (Ave Maria on Bach's 1st Prelude is the best known) and also the Marche Pontificale which still serves as Vatican national anthem...
For Mephisto as the priest at the end, this is not in the libretto but a choice of Robert Carsen who likes to play with religious symbols (I remember his Magic Flute in Aix-en-Provence in 1994 : ua-cam.com/video/vcD-4nla3TQ/v-deo.html)

my Mom is not happy with everything... She sends everything to HELL! you guys are funny and this makes her laugh, thank you guys!
2:09:15 Mort de Valentin
zero urgency in the situation? ugh
Nothing doing. Mephisto is at an altar. Goes against everything. The devil would not be able to be in a church, let alone at the altar and dressed with clerical clothes! Ha!
Nonsense. Pick up a Bible---he goes freely to the very throne of God to slander the saved (Job) and he has no trouble conversing with Jesus at the top of the temple. This stuff is pure Hollywood mythology about fear of crosses and 'holy water'.
immeralles besserwisser So what is that Mr. Wilhelm Reich?? is he a great initiate?? is he a teacher of humanity that everybody has to read?
***** Sorry, Chris. We are talking about symbology, not theology-

You make no sense. I was responding to your comment about the implausibility of the devil being in a church at an altar. The devil has no problem being in churches---Hollywood makes up that silliness.
Der Teufel in der Kirche- teuflisch genial.
