The opening image for the opera









Faust broods in his lab, with a cadaver laying on the slab next to him









He sings of his despair









He is visited by a group of motley students









He calls forth an incantation to the devils









The devils begin to appear









Mephistopheles appears as his double









A pact is proposed and accepted









On signing, Faust is left alone....the image of the cadaver hovers in the air over him
