Faust et Hélène

About the show

Faust bargains with Méphistophélès for a single encounter with Helen of Troy. He demands that the demon summon Hélène, who rejects him to avoid causing more deaths in her name. Faust persists and falls in love, but Méphistophélès warns that she must return to the grave or Faust will be damned. When Paris’s ghost claims her, Faust fights him and is struck down.
