Acts I and II of Gounod's Opera
'Faust'
CHORUS of THE PARIS OPÃ‰RA and THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, conducted by HENRY BUSSER (of the Opera)
The curtain'rises on the aged figure of Faust seated in his study. He sings of his weariness of life. From outside comes the music of dancing and Easter Day rejoicing, and Faust, still more hopelessly, resolves to end his life. But before he drains the cup of oblivion he calls on the powers of evil for aid. Mephistopheles then suddenly appears, prepared to grant him his youth in return for a mere trifle-his soul. To gain his consent, he causes a vision of Marguerite to appear. Faust cannot resist and the compact is sealed.
The scene is now the market square at fair time. The citizens are merrymaking. Valentine, a soldier and brother of Marguerite, now enters. He is off to the wars, and sings of a medallion his sister has given him as a charm. Then general jollity breaks out afresh.
As Wagner, a leader of the students, is singing = the ' Song of the Rat,' Mephistopheles comes up â€” to them (later followed by Faust) and offers to sing the company a better song. He gives them the ' Song of the Calf of Gold.' His hearers come to distrust him and, drawing their swords to drive him away, they find they are powerless and withdraw quickly from the scene. The music ends with a gay chorus in a waltz rhythm, interrupted in the middle by the appearance of Marguerite and her shy diffidence when she is spoken to by Faust.
