| Description
|
The 2006/07 lyrical season will begin with the staging of Gonoud’s Faust, a complicated score and production which will see Ainhoa Arteta, who has already been with us several seasons ago in Roméo and Juliette, returning to the Teatro Cervantes. The renowned soprano will be joined by internationally admired names such as the bassist Paata Burchuladze and the tenor Gregory Kunde, all directed by the expert baton of the Mexican master Enrique Patrón de Rueda.
Goethe finished the first part of his drama Faust in 1808; the second was not completed until 1831. His influence was very notable in the romantic composers of the 19th Century: Schumann, Wagner, Liszt… as well as in Gounod himself, in particular in the part which alludes to Gretchen, known in the opera as Marguerite. Originally it was a “comic opera” in the French sense, that is to say, it included spoken dialogue, but the composer made some changes to the score for the Opera de Paris, in which the dialogue was replaced by recitative, this being the version which remains. This version also inserted the long ballet of the fifth act, now frequently shortened or completely omitted.
Gounod wrote some of the most effective pages of his music for Faust, expressing the tenderness and torments of the delicate soul of the protagonist. This sweetness exudes elements of a culture which includes the legacies of Palestrina, Bach, Mozart and Beethoven. Its success and public support were such that the composer transformed his opera-comique into grand-opéra, as was his original intention and as it presents itself today. No opera has produced more famous melodies. |
