Charles Gounods international renown is based on the success of his opera Faust after Goethes drama: The aging Faust makes a pact with the devil. He sells his soul to Mephistopheles and in return gets back his youth and he experiences new happiness in love when he meets the young Marguerite.

The vocal score to Gounods masterpiece (completely sung version) assembles many popular numbers such as Marguerites Jewel Aria and the Lied of the King in Thule as well as Mephistopheless Rondo of the Golden Calf and Fausts Cavatina Salut ! demeure chaste et pure.
