And today I have something completely different,something with a different barrel.
Music entertainment-as we call it-gives us think sometimes over the words of songs,what a writer had in mind when he wrote what he wrote.
And music opera?
It only appeals to those who have a large imagination.
I said something like Richard Gere in "Pretty Woman" the opera you either love or hate.
So first reading :
First involve getting familiar the author of the drama and "short" summary.
Jonathan Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) German poet, the most prominent representative of classical aesthetics (classic Weimar).
He was an outstanding thinker and scholar,the connoisseur of art.
He studied at Leipzig, where the most famous and oldest eatery "Auerbach's Cellar," he heard the story of Dr. Johann Georg Faust.The legendary doctor atheist who signs a pact with the devil because he wants to possess a woman is suddenly in the mind of the main character's Wolfgang drama.
In 1773-1774 begins work on the first part, which ends in 1794, at the instigation of another famous poet Frideric Schiller.
In 1829 he began work on the second part, which continues until his death.
Crafts sealed in accordance with the will of the poet appears in print after his death.
I "short" cheat sheet:
"Prologue in Heaven" as one of the scenes of the Book of Job shows Mephistopheles arriving at the sky and the examinee relationship with his visit on Earth.God asks him if he knows his servant Faust, to which he ridicules God, saying that "his" servant is not used to it and does not care for God, so it is assumed to God for the soul of Faust.God agrees, because he knows that his life wandering man to finally know His mercy.
However, the title Faust-scientist who spent his whole life studying the books reflects on a sense of life.
One day, going to the city and there is a black dog, which press.At home notes that the dog something weird happen.The dog turns into Mephistopheles, Faust which promises to be a guide in the search for the meaning of life in exchange for his soul.
Mephistopheles wanting to quickly get what they want leads Faust to the inn, so that he could experience the pleasures of the flesh, which, unfortunately, are not interested in our hero.
The devil does not give up and keep it to the witch.She gives him a decoction with which younger.And then in the mirror he sees fourteen Margaret, he decides to seduce and command the devil to help him.Mephistopheles throws so girl jewels and clothes, but she is still uncertain.
In the end, he manages to persuade the girl to meet Faust in a neighbor home, but this still remains distrustful.
So the devil persuades Faust to the second approach to the feelings of the individual.
Margaret is disgraced, and her brother finding out about it initiates a fight with a lover, in which he died, and before the death of her sister predicts inglorious fate of prostitutes.
During the funeral Mass behind Margaret stand Evil Spirit, who strengthens her sense of guilt for bringing his brother's death.
After some time, Faust discovers that loved is in jail and asks Mephistopheles for help in freeing her,but when reach the jail Margaret is able to mental breakdown after she killed her mother and drowned their children.The devil says that the girls soul is already lost, as God defines it as a survivor.
And the second act:
Our hero and his companion are staying at the court of the emperor serving him.
There is going to the goddesses, who say Fausto how to call the spirit of Helen of Troy.
Faust in love with his two companions, sets off into the world of Greek mythology and there finds Helena, where he falls in love, and he assumed the family.Idyll lasts until death takes his son and loved Helen.
Desperate returns to his time and joins the emperor to serve in the war at his side for what is awarded, and the prize is a seaside country.
After years of governance in the country getting to the old age, and when he is near death lemurs * a dig of his grave.
Mephistopheles lying to him that another of his command, and Faust mean "an ongoing instantaneous, you're beautiful"-these are the words by which the devil gets his soul-but they are not our hero says and so is taken up into heaven where Margaret was waiting for him.
Lemurs *-in Roman mythology are the souls of dead people who have done badly in life and in death they must atone for their transgressions.
And now music:
The music creates by Antonii Henry prince Radziwiłł in 1808-1832.
For the first time opera excerpts were presented in Berlin in 1810 and in 1835 has already shown all the work in the same place.
Well, listen:
If enyone want see all
opera I invite you on you tube.
