Opera in a prologue, 4 acts, and an epilogue by Boito; libretto by composer, premiered in Milan, March 5, 1868. Unlike Gounod in his Faust, Boito based his opera on both parts of Goethe's work; thus after Marguerite's death comes the scene of the Night of the Classical Sabath introducing Helen of Troy.
