Set Design: Faust's Study

Description

This is my Act I Scene I set design for Gounod's Faust, one of my favorite operas. In this scene, Faust, a old scholar, sits in his study, contemplating suicide, the sun begins to rise (shown through the window) and Faust hears the sound of people singing, which stays his hand.
In my staging, I have Faust, in his despair, through the curtain on the window shut, cutting himself off from all light, he calls upon Mephistopheles, who offers him youth in return for his soul. To convince him, Mephistopheles shows Faust a vision of Marguerite, the girl who he falls in love with later, I have this vision projecting from the window. Faust agrees, is made young again, and the two go off together.
