Opera posters on Kino refrences


Recommended Posts

If anybody ever noticed the posters on the walls on kino i did some research.

Fisrt is on Faust. Faust is a german play heres a summary.

Despite his scholarly eminence, Faust is bored and disappointed. He decides to call on the devil for further knowledge and magic powers with which to indulge all the pleasures of the world. In response, the devil's representative Mephistopheles appears. He makes a bargain with Faust: Mephistopheles will serve Faust with his magic powers for a term of years, but at the end of the term, the devil will claim Faust's soul and Faust will be eternally damned. The term usually stipulated in the early tales is twenty four years.

During the term, Faust makes use of Mephistopheles in various ways. In many versions of the story, in particular, Goethe's drama, Mephistopheles helps him to seduce a beautiful and innocent girl, usually named Gretchen, who is destroyed. However, Gretchen's naive innocence saves her in the end and she enters Heaven. In Goethe's rendition, Faust is saved by his constant striving. However, in the early tales, Faust is irrevocably corrupted and believes his sins cannot be forgiven; when the term ends, the devil carries him off to Hell.

Faust may be refrenced to richtofen. Gretchen may be refrenced to Samantha.

Next is Pygmalion. However this poster of the play is not a german play it is a britsh play. But it was preformed in Germany.

no real summary for pygmalion but heres the links for both plays
