Germany, in the Middle Ages. Doctor Faust is an aging scholar who is tired of life and fantasizes about ending it all. Suddenly, Mephistophélès, the Devil himself, appears before him. He makes a pact with Faust, guaranteeing him eternal youth in exchange for his soul. Fascinated by an image of Marguerite that the Devil has produced to convince him, Faust goes off to seduce her. She offers little resistance to his sumptuous gifts and romantic ways. Méphistophélès, of course, does not fail to follow him and anticipate his every desire. Seduced and abandoned by Faust, Marguerite kills the child born of their union. Imprisoned for her crime, she gives her life to save her soul and succeeds despite the efforts of the Devil to make her - like Faust - his creature. (Opera-Online)
