Salute to America

Blossom Music Center

Faust is an opera in five acts, based on Carré’s play Faust et Marguerite, which itself is a loose adaptation of Faust, Part One by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Gounod’s opera tells the tragic tale of an aging man who makes a pact with the devil to regain his youth. As Faust embarks on a passionate romance with the innocent Marguerite, the deal leads to heartbreaking consequences. Dynamic performances, combined with the powerful story of love, betrayal, and redemption, will bring Gounod’s masterpiece to life on the Edward W. Powers Auditorium stage.
