Right now I'm running a distance education German language class that is watching Faust.

I hope the instructor realizes at some point that the opera is in French.

What they are watching is in German. I'm pretty sure it is Faust but I could be mistaken. It is a high level German class, so no English. They play a lot of Wagner stuff. Could it be related to that?

I don't know. Why wouldn't he just show an opera by R. Strauss or Mozart?

Maybe even Berg's Wozzeck!

If you posted, in the Novel forum, that you were reading Faust, that would make sense.

I doubt it's Faust....since as the Grasshoppa pointed out....it's not only in French....it's based on a French play based on Faust.

This particular teacher has a thing for Wagner. He also conducts another German language class that is all about Wagner and his Operas. I'm thinking he just uses that material in all his classes so he doesn't have to write a new lesson plan.

I looked up the info and the names he's dropping, that I can understand, are the same in the German tale. I have no idea.

I'd ask, but that is way beyond protocol.

In that case it's Louis Spohr's Faust....which isn't exactly performed often....but it was an influence on Wagner's use of Leitmotif.

The performance on the VHS is pretty old based on the quality of the recording, character generator used to create the graphics, and the overall feel of the production.

Thanks for the answer though, my google was getting a work out.
