The "Soldiers' Chorus" is a powerful and memorable piece from Charles Gounod's opera "Faust." It's a rousing ensemble number that typically occurs in Act IV of the opera. The soldiers sing of their bravery and loyalty to their country, expressing their readiness to defend it at any cost. It's often performed with great energy and passion, making it a highlight of the opera.

This Soldier's Chorus is outstanding. I love watching it all the time. Thank you for this. I admire your opportunity to be in opera. I'm a U S Marine veteran. I have been in battle and have memorable experinces from traveling the globe during my career. I have my mom to thank for my love of music and opera. I played cello and bass in high school. Sometimes I wish I had turned my path toward a life of music and arts. But I graduated, just turned 18, and was ready for high adventure. I chose the Marine Corps. I knew there is a Marine Band. I was a good musician but not great. I couldnt blind read a piece of music and play on the spot. Silly me looking for adventure got to be an armored vehicle crewman. In my life of guns and dirt, I've always kept classical music and opera close to my heart. There are performances that make me tear up, that the singer becomes Isolde, or Brunnhilde, or the Commendatore. Thank you to all the singers and musicians that keep music alive from centuries ago. Thank you from my heart.

Pour toi, mère patrie, affrontant le sort, tes fils, l'âme aguerrie, ont bravé la mort! ta voix sainte nous crie : "En avant, soldats! Le fer à la main, courez aux combats !" Gloire immortelle de nos aïeux, sois-nous fidèle, mourons comme eux! et sous ton aile, soldats vainqueurs, dirige nos pas, enflamme nos cœurs! Vers nos foyers, hâtons le pas! on nous attend; la paix est faite ! Plus de soupirs ! Ne tardons pas ! Notre pays nous tend les bras ! L'amour nous rit !

Forty odd years ago I heard Ian Wallace sing this with the English facetious words beginning:' Oh Aunt Jemima, look at your Uncle Jim, he's in the fishpond learning how to swim! First he does the backstroke, then he does the side, and now he's under water swimming against the tide!' It brought the house down. It also locked the tune in my mind forever.

And that goes for bar B Q's, camp fires, wood stoves, etc. A little caution can save a great deal of grief, and tragedy. Still- this scene was VERY Impressive, a wonderful set along with the stunning music of course. Thanks for writing.. Stay safe -Bill in Canada

Bjorling, Price, Merril, Pinza, Tebaldi, and Rudolf Bing, famous names from a storied past. And the music that is still with me, all these years. Lucky you. Bill
