Devils, the Faustian Pact and the Eternal Feminine

Goethe’s re- telling of the legend of Faust in the 1770s, with its exploration of good, evil, love and redemption has spawned more than 30 operas –most notably by Charles Gounod, Arrigo Boito and Hector Berlioz – and Gustav Mahler set the final pages of Goethe’s Faust in his 8th Symphony (the Symphony of 1,000) emphasising the redeeming power of “the eternal feminine”.

Weber’s Der Freischütz and Igor Stravinski Rake’s Progress highlight similar pacts with the Devil and Giuseppe Verdi explored Joan of Arc’s controversial pact with the Devil in his Giovanna D’Arco. Finally, Anton Dvorak found fun with his Kate and the Devil.

In the series:
Feb. 9: Eternal Feminine
