About Fausto
Fausto (Faust) is an 1831 Italian opera semiseria in four acts by French composer Louise Bertin. It was premiered on 7 March 1831 by the Théâtre-Italien in Paris, and ran for three performances. The premiere was sung in Italian, and acts 3 and 4 were combined into a single act 3 of two tableaux. Bertin had adapted the libretto from Goethe's Faust, Part One, writing it in French and commissioning Luigi Balocchi, the Théâtre-Italien's chief librettist, to translate it into Italian. The premiere was originally planned for 1830 with the contralto Rosmunda Pisaroni intended for the title role but was postponed due to the revolution of July 1830. At the premiere, the role was transposed for tenor Domenico Donzelli.
