Charles Gounod's famous opera at the Opéra Bastille.
The Opéra Bastille in Paris presents Faust, Charles Gounod's famous opera, from 26 September to 18 October 2024. Created in 1859 at the Théâtre Lyrique, this work, inspired by Goethe's play and based on a libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré, quickly became a success, and is famous for ‘L'air des bijoux’. Doctor Faust receives a new lease on life from the Devil in exchange for his soul, and sets off to seduce Marguerite. The romance turns tragic when Faust abandons Marguerite after winning her over.
