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."
