Faust: Final Scene

One of the most beautiful operas ever composed for the lyric stage, Charles Gounod's Faust. The final scene and trio shows the decisive battle for Marguerite's soul when Mephistopheles (the Devil) is about to take her and Faust away to eternal damnation. Marguerite has one fighting chance at redemption, and she takes it. Beautiful!
