Béraldi: Les Graveurs du XIXe Siècle Paris: 1885-92 XI-188. <br /> <br /> Faust an opera in five acts to a libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré after Carré's Faust et Marguerite and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust Part I in the French translation by Gérard de Nerval was first performed in Paris at the Théâtre Lyrique on March 15 1859. <br /> <br /> "Faust became particularly important to the French musical establishment at the end of the century. A work by a winner of the Prix de Rome that could claim to be thoroughly modern and personal in style at its première and go on to international stages was a significant enhancement to the musical prestige of a French operatic culture previously dominated by Meyerbeer and the none-too-easily exportable genre of opéra comique. Its national value was enhanced because after some initial assessments as 'Wagnerian' Gounod's compositional voice in Faust was heard as important in the definition of a 'French' musical aesthetic." Steven Huebner in Grove Music Online. <br /> <br /> Renouard 1845-1924 was a noted painter and engraver whose works are held at the Louvre the Opéra Museum etc. unknown

The libretto by Barbier and Carre is based on Goethe but focuses on the love story between Faust and Marguerite. <br /> <br /> "The historical importance of Faust is that it sounded a new note in French music. The conventional pomposities of the grand opera which then dominated the stage were superseded by a more intimate and poetic approach. The fashion Gounod set was one of conversational exchange rather than declamation." James Harding: Gounod p. 114. Francesco Lucca [PNs 13851-13876] unknown
