Approved

In French with German surtitles Faust is searching – for himself, for the meaning of life. And love. Méphistophélès wants to help him in this. He accompanies him on an adventurous journey that leads first to Auerbach's cellar and then to Marguerite's bedroom. But the destination is different – ​​hell. As one of the first artists, following in the footsteps of Goethe, Berlioz dared to tackle the subject of Faust – and gave it his own twist. As the title suggests, this is not about the hero's salvation, but about his path to the underworld. The musical implementation of this ride into pandemonium is one of the most theatrical compositions that Hector Berlioz created. Trailer: © Thiemo Hehl
