However, the premiere of this work—based on Goethe’s *Faust* and with a libretto written by Boit himself—was a complete failure. It is a controversial work that finally gained popularity only after undergoing several revisions. This production, directed by the acclaimed Robert Carsen, is certainly filled with magnificent moments—such as his skillful handling of the notoriously difficult Act IV as a play-within-a-play—and is known for having dramatically elevated Carsen’s reputation following its success. Furthermore, a talented bass singer is indispensable for a production of this work, and I can’t help but marvel at the majestic singing of Raymie, who calls himself “the Devil” and has made this his signature role. Margherita, who seems to have a wealth of life experience, and Faust, who appears to be a kind-hearted man… It is a deeply moving production that every opera fan should see at least once.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arthaus Musik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53414274957601,"sku":"807280914795","price":3190.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/807280914795.jpg?v=1788096480","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/807280914795","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
