"Mephistofele" is an epic large-scale opera in which the famous Italian writer, poet, librettist and composer Arigo Boyto (1842-1918), based on the ideological basis of the play "Faust" by Goethe, in his own way examines the "Faust problem" for the meaning of life and the omnipotence of Divine providence over human destiny. This opera is the first compositional experience of Arigo Boyto - the favorite librettist and friend of Giuseppe Verdi. He is the author of the libretto for Verdi's latest masterpiece, Falstaff. Arigo Boyto has another large-scale opera - the opera "Nero".

Mephistofele is Arigo Boyto's only completed opera. The composition occupies a special place in the history of Italian opera. The special melodic lines, the complex choirs, the saturation with bright polyphonic moments, the categorically demonstrated "Wagnerianism" of the composer are invaluable merits of the work, which in the past made it difficult for the Italian audience to perceive the opera. That is why the premiere in March 5, 1868 in La Scala was unsuccessful. Boyto offered a new revised version in four acts, which was presented on the stage of the Teatro Comunale-Bologna on October 4, 1875, and a second revised version, presented in Venice, at the Teatro Rossini on May 13, 1876.
But only after the famous performance of Mephistofele by Chaliapin in 1901 at La Scala, which was a huge success, because then Faust was performed by Caruso and conducted by Arturo Toscanini, the opera gained popularity, which remains to this day.

The first performance in Bulgaria of the opera "Mephistofele" was on October 1, 1982 on the stage of the Sofia Opera. The director of this production is the actor from the troupe of the Ruse Drama Theater Konstantin Dimchev - an artist who with his productions on the stage of the Ruse Opera has had an extremely beneficial effect on its development. The Conductor was Ivan Marinov. The role of Mephistofele is played by Bulgarian bass Nikola Gyuzelev.

English

„Мефистофел” е опера в пролог, четири действия и епилог от Ариго Бойто по собствено либрето, базирано на „Фауст” I и II на Йохан Волфганг фон Гьоте. Световната премиера се състои на 5 март 1868 г. в Teatro alla Scala в Милано. Първоначалната версия обаче се оказва твърде дълга, а музиката - твърде сложна, така че операта е оттеглена само след две представления. Бойто се заема незабавно с работата и съкращава произведението, така че четвъртото действие е напълно отменено, а първоначалното пето действие е преработено като епилог. Освен това ролята на Фауст е променена от баритон на тенор. Преработената версия е представена за пръв път в Болоня на 4 октомври 1875 г. с по-добър актьорски състав и веднага се радва на успех. През 1876 г. Бойто прави още няколко промени и тази окончателна версия е представена премиерно във Венеция на 13 май същата година.
