The Damnation of Faust

Approved

“Where in all the world will I find what my life lacks?” asks Faust. But does he really want to die – or simply be freed from loneliness? Mephistopheles hears his cries and takes him on a journey to hell.  

A dramatic legend  
La Damnation de Faust is not entirely an opera and not entirely an oratorio. The composer called it a “dramatic legend”. He was a long-time admirer of Goethe’s Faust. In Goethe’s version, Doctor Faust is the anti-hero who is sent to heaven. But Berlioz shows no mercy to the one who sold his soul to the devil. In La Damnation de Faust, hell itself breaks loose in the orchestra. And it’s sinfully wonderful.

English

Hvor kan jeg finne det livet mitt mangler?» spør Faust. Men vil han egentlig dø – eller vil han bare bli befridd fra ensomheten? Mefisto hører hans rop og tar ham med på en helvetes reise.  

En dramatisk legende  
Faust fordømmelse er ikke helt en opera, og ikke helt et oratorium. Komponisten beskrev den som en «dramatisk legende». Han hadde lenge beundret Goethes Faust. Der er Doktor Faust en antihelt, som blir sendt til himmelen. Men Berlioz viste ingen nåde for ham som solgte sjelen sin til fanden. I Fausts fordømmelse braker selve helvetet løs i orkestret. Det er syndig deilig.
