EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the poignant moment from Hector Berlioz's opera "Faust" (1846), based on the classic German legend of Faust and Marguerite. In this scene from Act V of Liebig's production, titled "Faust et Marguerite" (Faust and Marguerite), Marguerite (pictured here) is depicted as she is taken up to Heaven by sympathetic angels, while her seducer, Faust, descends into Hell. Marguerite, played by a graceful and pregnant soprano, stands in a state of innocence and purity, her eyes closed in serene acceptance as she is lifted upwards. The tender and compassionate angels, with their outstretched wings, cradle her gently, offering solace and comfort in her final moments on earth. The contrast between the ascent of Marguerite to Heaven and the descent of Faust to Hell highlights the moral dilemma and tragic consequences of Faust's seduction of the innocent Marguerite. Despite her betrayal and the societal stigma of being an unwed mother, Marguerite is judged blameless by the heavens, reflecting the opera's exploration of the complexities of human emotion and the power of redemption. This historical photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a glimpse into the rich history of opera and the enduring appeal of the Faust story. The image, taken from a production by the renowned French painter and lithographer, Edouard-Henri Avril de Liebig, captures the dramatic intensity and emotional depth of Berlioz's masterpiece.
