The Paris Opera has performed in many theatres since its foundation in the 17th century, but only one of them was called a palace. The Palais Gamier was built by Charles Gamier during the Second Empire. He oversaw every bit of the decoration of his opera house, even down to the fire and sun motifs in the men's smoking room and the lunar motifs in the ladies' ice-cream parlour. Including excerpts from:
Delibes Sylvia (Prelude; Entree) Razumovsky Sinfonia , conductor Andrew Mogrelia Strauss Der Rosenkavalier

Mephistopheles
From the London Coliseum, the operatic version of the Faust legend by Arrigo Boito , who is now best remembered as the librettist of Verdi's final masterpieces Otello and Falstaff.
The action is based on the drama by Goethe, whose 250th anniversary falls this year. Ian Judge 's vivid new production for English National Opera is sung in a new English translation by Carlos Wagner.
English National Opera Chorus and Orchestra, conductor Olivier von Dohnanyi Prologue; Acts 1 and 2 9.00 The Devil with the Best Tunes
Tom Rosenthal considers the numerous musical offspring of the Faust legend inspired by both Goethe and Marlowe, with special emphasis on Boito's Mephistopheles. It was the first Italian opera Rosenthal had seen in Italy, in an open-air performance in Rome creating an unforgettable vision of hell from the Roman summer-night sky. It confirmed Rosenthal's view that
Boito was an extraordinary man whose place as a poet, revolutionary, composer and, above all, librettist to Verdi, is secure in both Italian and operatic history.
