Summary:

"Premiered in Paris in 1859, Gounod's Faust was an instant success and even today remains one of the most popular of all French operas. Its libretto was based on Michel Carré's adaptation of his own play Faust et Marguerite, which in turn was loosely fashioned after Goethe's two-part tragedy."--Container.
