Le petit Faust

About the show

In this comic burlesque of Faust, an elderly professor trades his reason for youth and wealth to pursue Marguerite, who has left school to teach the can-can in London. Their reunion leads to a duel in which Faust kills her brother Valentin; at Walpurgis Night, Mephisto condemns Faust to remain with the unwilling Marguerite, while Valentin is redeemed.
