Faust
I'm a huge fan of the germanic story of Faust, by Goethe
I was wondering if anyone knew of any modern productions of this story? I'm thinking it would be an Opera I'm kind of lost and figured this would be a good place to start. Edit: It doesnt have to be an Opera. Any modern films based upon Faust are ok too |

Re: Faust
The opera is good, though, and I've even sung the Kermesse scene.

However, if you're interested in a piece of music that captures the essence of the story, try Franz Liszt's "A Faust Symphony"....I don't think you'll be disappointed. |

Re: Faust
Faust heavily influenced Bulgakov's Master and Margarita, one of my favorite books, and a must read for everyone.

Re: Faust
I love Faust too. I recommend renting Faust by F.R. Murnau
It's an amazing silent film. I've seen the opera also, but I forget who composed it! [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] |
