 Faust (opera) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Faust, Charles Gounod's operatic retelling of the Faust legend, debuted at the Théatre-Lyrique on 19 March 1859.
It was adapted by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré from Carré's play Faust et Marguerite, in its turn loosely based on Goethe's Faust, Part I.
Faust was declined at the National Opera House, on the grounds that it was not sufficiently "showy", and its appearance at the Théatre-Lyrique had been delayed for a year because Dennery's drama Faust was currently playing at the Porte St. Martin.

 Variety.com - Reviews - Romeo et Juliette
A Los Angeles Opera presentation of an opera in five acts by Charles Gounod; text by Jules Barbier and Michel Carre, based on Shakespeare's play.
Jules Barbier and Michel Carre fashioned the text, clipping Shakespeare's wings here, contriving their own textual artifice there; Gounod followed their example with music drenched in goo.
In sight and in sound, in fact, the two of them made pretty much a dream team: Villazon with his appealing agility, up and down ladders, onto balconies and into hearts; Netrebko with her tones of pure silver turning her Waltz Song, the opera's one famous tune, into the essence of moonbeam.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Charles-Francois Gounod
The subjects he chose for his compositions, and which he successfully interpreted, were not calculated to preserve in his heart and mind the conditions requisite for an adequate interpretation of liturgical texts.
His music allied to the poetry of Emile Augier, Jules Barbier, and Michel Carré, who acted as his librettists at various times, became the most powerful and the most widely diffused expression of French Romanticism in its more lyrical, sentimental form.
It was, in deed, rather the lyric, sentimental side of such works as Goethe's "Faust', Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", Corneille's "Polyeucte" which he seized upon than their heroic or metaphysical aspects.

 Jacques Offenbach: The Tales of Hoffmann
In the opera “the Tales of Hoffmann” there is a complex structure of several layers of meaning.
The first is that the opera is about the stories (tales) of Hoffmann the historical figure[1] adapted to a libretto by Jules Barbier and composed by Jacques Offenbach.
According to this literary level the stories of the opera (and also their original Hoffman stories) are about the victory of forces of mysticism against those of enlightment, using their forces to make the hero fall in love with singers and thereafter destroy and hurt him by making the female singers taken from his life.
