The opera Faust debuted in Paris in 1859 and became immensely popular and was the inspiration for numerous paintings in the second half of the 19th century into the first part of the 20th century. The opera remains incredibly popular to this day and sits in the top 20 most performed operas in America. Set in 16th century Germany, Faust is loosely based on the book of the same title by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
