1846 Abyss Berlioz Demons Faust Liebig Mephistopheles Opera Performed Ride Route


EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a pivotal moment from Hector Berlioz's opera "Faust" (1846), specifically the scene known as "Faust and Mephistopheles Ride to the Abyss" from the fourth act of the Liebig production. In this historical representation, the legendary composer and conductor Louis-Jacques-Maurice Abel Méhul (1767-1817) takes on the role of Faust, while the demon Mephistopheles is portrayed by the renowned French bass, Jean-Baptiste Faure (1810-1874). The photograph, taken from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich theatrical history of Berlioz's Faust, which premiered in Paris in 1846. The image showcases the dramatic tension between the two characters as they ride towards the abyss, with a horde of demons lining the route, their fiery forms adding an otherworldly atmosphere to the scene. As the story goes, Faust, a learned scholar, makes a pact with Mephistopheles, the devil, in exchange for youth and the love of Marguerite. In this scene, Mephistopheles leads Faust towards the abyss, the gateway to eternal damnation. The demons, eager to welcome their new master, line the route, their presence a stark reminder of the consequences of Faust's deal with the devil. This photograph not only offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of Berlioz's Faust but also highlights the theatrical spectacle that was an integral part of the opera. The image's dramatic composition, coupled with the intricate costumes and makeup of the performers, transports us back to the 19th century and the world of Faust and Mephistopheles.
