1846 Berlioz Demons Faust Innocent Liebig Magic Marguerite Mephistopheles Opera Performed Summons Peeks
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to the 19th century and the world of Hector Berlioz's opera, "Faust." The scene depicted here is from Act III of Berlioz's "Faust" (Liebig 3), which was first performed in Paris in 1846. In this moment, Mephistopheles, the devilish character played by the bass-baritone voice, summons his demons to work their magic on the innocent and unsuspecting Marguerite. Mephistopheles, portrayed in this print as a menacing figure with horns and a long, flowing cloak, stands at the center of the image, his arms outstretched as he commands the demons to appear. The demons, depicted as shadowy figures with glowing eyes, swirl around him, ready to carry out his bidding. Meanwhile, Faust, the protagonist, peeks through the window, hidden from view, as he watches Marguerite, who is unaware of the dark forces at work. The window provides a glimpse into her chamber, where she is seen in a moment of vulnerability, her face illuminated by the soft glow of a candle. This historical print offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Berlioz's "Faust," a work that continues to captivate audiences with its powerful music and dramatic storytelling. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history of opera and the role it has played in shaping the cultural landscape of Europe and beyond.
