The philosopher Faust is profoundly depressed by his inaptitude to reach fulfillment through knowledge and thinks of committing suicide. He damns happiness, science and faith and calls on Satan to guide him. Méphistophélès agrees to fulfill the wishes of the philosopher, in exchange for his services in the infernal regions. Faust signs then the document and is transformed into a noble young person.

Sumptuous production values, and Russell certainly understands how to stage an opera. I'm allergic to staged preludes, but there are worse concepts than this--the opera itself as a fever-dream of Faust's. Vocally, it's a mixed bag...I prefer Méphistophélès to be more bass than baritone, which Mr. Raimondi is not. Araiza had such a lovely voice here, before he decided he should sing Wagner--a curious decision considering his weak low register. Gabriela Beňačková is not quite suited to Marguerite.
