- Erwin Schrott (Méphistophélès) sings the Act II aria ‘Le veau d’or’ in David McVicar's spectacular production of Faust. Subscribe to our channel and find out more at www.roh.org.uk
Disillusioned with life, the aged philosopher Faust calls upon Satan to help him. The devil Méphistophélès appears and strikes a bargain with the philosopher: he will give him youth and the love of the beautiful Marguerite, if Faust will hand over his soul.
Gounod's Faust (1859) was one of the world's most popular operas from the 1860s to World War II, and remains a core repertory work. The story, adapted by Gounod's librettists Jules Barbier and Michel Carré from Carré's play Faust et Marguerite, is based on Part I of Goethe's epic poem Faust, which was a major inspiration for many composers during the 19th century and beyond. Gounod added a ballet to Act V when Faust received its first Paris Opéra staging in 1869.
David McVicar's wonderfully theatrical production draws insightful parallels between Faust and Gounod, a composer torn between piety and worldly and romantic success. Sets and costumes by Charles Edwards and Brigitte Reiffenstuel pay tribute to the art and architecture of 1870s Paris, and include a colourful Cabaret d'Enfer, a run-down tenement block and re-creations of a box from the Paris Opéra and the organ loft of Notre-Dame. The variety of settings mirrors the variety in Gounod's score, highlights of which include Méphistophélès's demonic aria 'Le veau d'or', Marguerite's dazzling coloratura Jewel Song, the Act IV Soldiers' Chorus and Act V's impassioned trio as Marguerite struggles to achieve salvation.

Faust was my first encounter with opera a few days ago. I was excited. But this performance is the one I watch again and again. Thank you!
Ghiaurov is Mephistofeles. Always he is.
Always thought of Méphistophélès as a bigger voice, but Erwin Schrott has changed my mind! I LOVE him in this role! He’s spectacular!
I think he’s a bass-baritone - he does Leporello and Escamillo.

thank you, Your Majesty, it was fun.
I died laughing
This aria DESPERATELY needs a metal cover.

🤘😉 It would be a blast!
The evil laugh was an nice touch!
I really wish I could find this production on DVD
It's available now.
@@alwa6954 Where????
@@teresagrabs488 Amazon. I just got mine. Going to watch it tomorrow night.
DVD is so 2000ds ...
@@danielteixeira309yeah and streaming services that even after you pay for the media they can delete it whenever they see fit? Yeah I'd like to own the things that I buy thank you.
Én a gúnyos "Ah!"-ot a zene elhalkulása után kiabálnám, h hatásosabb legyen... jó az énekes, jó a rendezés...BRAVO!
One of the few times this aria was not sung like a buffa role... and actually gave me the serious creeps - as it should.

Maybe it's because he can't.
@@definitelynosebreatherand maybe his performance proves he shouldn’t, because his was better than the rest?
I was there. It was magnificent !
Your a very lucky person. Royal Opera House is too far from where I live (Veracruz, Mexico). Hope to visit someday.

Please, do stream again! This is a masterpiece
Perfect for Halloween.
Seeing Erwin Schrott performing is on the top 5 of my bucket list
I hope you get a chance one day! I saw him as Don Giovanni, he was perfect.
The production values are insane.
I'm obsessed with Erwin's interpretation
It is truly amazing, I just came recently and already want to hear more of this man (and, of course, the complete opera).
Yes!
Maravilloso ímpetu representativo
Cooking time 🥘 🍷😏
I wish i was there 😕😍
A virtuoso performance by Mr. Schrott, even if he sounds more baritonal than bassish. Great choreography and dancing too.
Qué fuerza expresiva!! 👍
Bravo!
Where can I watch or buy this version?
In any junkyard
Bravo, Erwin Schrott!!!! el mejor bajo de nuestro tiempo.
Here because of Hannibal.

Masterpiece. Bravissimo!
Wicked good Thanks to All. Keeping Classical Alive. Bella
Quel punch ! Merci pour ce moment vivement Orange cet été pour vous retrouver en Don Giovanni
:(
Streaming please!!!
just an everyday look for the costume then?
Not bad, but the first professional production of Faust I ever saw was the NYCO production on tour in Los Angeles with Norman Triegle as Mephistopheles.I'm spoiled rotten.
it sound like the first hello neighbor intro.
It is bro

Excellent!!!
BRAVO!😘
me fascina
magnifique !
He has a fine voice, but I want more horsepower on this aria, e.g. Ghaiurov.
Hello Neighbor brought me here
As this is Victorian era garb, one would think that Méphistophélès was Adolfo Pirelli, da king of da barbers, da barber of kings. 😆😜
We were forced to make an opera presentation for our music class.
Hello Neighbor :D
I thought this was supposed to be a bass role.
Well he's a bass-baritone. Saw him twice at the ROH in this production and he was spectacular
@@mastermalaprop Hmm. Seems miscast to me vocally.
It was ;))))))
Not a bass voice this is an insult to my ear to call this a voice of any standard is pathetically misguided
@@karldelavigne8134 I agree with you there. Needs a much darker voice
So this is what they do inside the federal reserve
Poor Royal Opera House...
True! not anywhere near Ghiaurov or Christoff
My dad singing
Who found this from hello neighbor teaser trailer?
L'enfer est au rendez-vous
Sorry but i hear some pitch problems...
So do I. Very clearly
Turn off your troll-o-phones and he'll sound better.
@@Muttonchop_USA Come up with an actual point and then you might even make sense.
Not only the pitch, the sound is horrible
Agreed, and his timbre is that of a baritone, not even a bass-baritone. His French diction is rather poor, too. "Lay voh door?" Oy vey!
Effrayant
Who else came here from Hello Neighbor teaser video?
I'm here because hello neighbor prototype trailer .
Wonderful interpretation but lacking the voice required for the role. A true bass is sorely missing.
U may be right. A bass is more a 'satanic' type of voice i saw this production with Tomlinson as Mephistopelis and he was brilliant but i would not discard this one
@@paoloardisson2895I can, the lack of bright in the high notes tells you that he is probably and undeveloped baritone, or even worse, a tenor.
@@Bulacio_Elias The one contra of being into classical music and opera is that like half of the people in the comments are fucking snobs
@@Bulacio_Eliaswhat utter nonsense.
К сожалению, далеко не всегда правильно попадает в ноты. Наверно, от волнения
oh my god it's Jesus in the background
Необычный
Çok güzel🪄
Thanks Neighbor, We know you sold your soul to the Devil while you were reading Faust.
hannibal

Like for a staging
To think, I first learned about this opera from a singing whale...
Paper money are soooo wrong. It needs metal/ gold money.
I'm rather shocked at how poor his French pronunciation is. "Lay voh door?"
There are pitch problems to boot, and I really hate the overdone rubato to start the 2nd verse.
Why the cross. Thát is a kermesse
Плохо, что на фоне Святого Креста.
Who came here for hello neighbor?
Christoff and Ghiaurov must be rollin' over in their graves
I think they are. It's so lackluster. Christoff and Ghiaurov had deeper darker voices which is what the roles needs
@@crazyorganist1609 This role needs a real bass or bass-baritone. And not a baritone (not the first) who said he was bass-baritone and everyone rolled with it.
끔찍한
poor voice , tempo troppo rapido ! poor recornding !
Not a very good singer,He is not a bass bariton.He was married to Anna Netrebko.I dont like him.
Edwin Schrott , what a bad Mefistofele.Terrible basse.He is a mediokra bariton.
This is a Baritone who tries to sing bass... I don't like it.
What a terrible Mephistopheles. Excellent miscasting.
Terrible everything. The only role this clown is suitable for is the title role in Shostakovich's "The Nose."
Out of tune
Not so - just overpitched... and purposely so.
Pitchy!!
So out of time! No depth in his voice.
I agree it's why I love Ghiaurov singing it
out of pitch a lot of times
Correct singing, but bad pronunciation and really off tempo...
Not correct singing
La performance est très faible
