EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Charles Gounod's opera "Faust" as performed by the esteemed Carl Rosa Opera Company in 1888. The image features several prominent characters from the production, including Charles Manners as Bertram, the Irish tenor Barton McGuckin as Faust, Amanda Fabris as Maritana, and Fanny Moody as Marguerite. The scene portrays Faust, depicted by McGuckin, deep in thought as he gazes upon Marguerite, played by Moody, who is spinning wool at her wheel. The pure and virtuous Marguerite, represented by her rosary beads and cross, is a stark contrast to the temptations of evil that Faust represents. Bertram, portrayed by Manners, stands nearby, seemingly oblivious to the developing tension between the two. This photograph offers a glimpse into the operatic world of the 1880s, a time when the Carl Rosa Opera Company brought the beauty and drama of classical music to audiences across Britain. The touring production of "Faust" was a testament to the enduring power of this French opera, which continues to captivate audiences to this day.
