This retreat explores the enduring fascination of the story of Faust. Embodied in the plays of Marlowe and Goethe the legend has inspired a rich musical response. Operas by Gounod and Busoni, dramatic scenes by Beethoven and Berlio, and symphonies by Liszt and Mahler provide the stimulus for you to gain a renewed appreciation for the thinker who sold his soul to the devil.
