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.

I love this soldiers chorus... it's reminds me of the days when I was in a high school choir more than a decade ago... this was prescribed once in a competition back then.
Quel frisson ! Quel élan patriotique ! Les Anglais ont Rule Britannia, nous avons ce choeur pour deuxième hymne ! Merci M. Gounod et merci à Plasson et au metteur en scène ! Sublime !!!! 1000 pouces levés...............
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.
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.
I was in. Chorale Society when I was in 11th grade, there were slightly more than a handful of teenagers, obviously an adult choir. The wonderful memories of performing this, I find this 11 years after it’s been posted, ironically it came up on my TH-cam after watching Dimash, so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised. Thank you for the nostalgia ❤
A lot of french songs are perfect : music and text because they recount periods of misfortune or wars France has often been at war with its English or German neighbors !
Gloire immortelle de nos aïeux, sois-nous fidèle, mourons comme eux! et sous ton aile, soldats vainqueurs, dirige nos pas, enflamme nos cœurs! 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 ! L'amour nous fête et plus d'un cœur frémit tout bas au souvenir de nos combats ! Gloire immortelle de nos aïeux, sois-nous fidèle, mourons comme eux! et sous ton aile, soldats vainqueurs, dirige nos pas, enflamme nos cœurs!
My father used to sing "Old soldiers like the leg of a duck, Old soldiers like the leg of a duck And every Sunday morning you'd hear the officers say, Left, right, turn about, duck for dinner today!"
In isolation, this chorus is a brilliant musical work. The greatest operatic work of all time collectively, however, is Der Ring des Nibelungen. Or any of Wagner's works; they are interchangeable.
Fine chorus indeed - and those torches, if I'm not mistaken, are the stage-safe metal ones - if you drop them, or displace your hand, a spring sends a cover over the flame, extinguishing it. And they weigh a ton!
Old soldiers, marching off to war, Young soldiers, never been there before, Old soldiers get bloody great lumps of duff, But young soldiers don't get enough. Remembered by my grandfather, a young soldier who became an old soldier overnight in WWI
Wat een perfecte uitvoering van dit overbekende soldatenlied! Super performance, beautiful chorus, those men are actors as well. It must have taken a lot of time to get it on stage this way. N'aime pas la guerre, mais j'aime cette chanson de guerre, chanté par cette choir.
@Tomam001 I am a retired Fire Fighter- our training, over the years, is that fire is always in mind, not only on duty, and you view each situation in light of the possible hazard, and what the result would be. 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
Faust is an opera in five acts by Charles-François Gounod (1818 - 1893) a great French Opera composer. I also recommend listening to (vin ou bière) from same Opera Act II . Hanna Astephan.
@Tomam001 Thanks. I think the old Met closed in the late 60's. Thanks to Utube and records/cd's we have all that wonderful music with us. I guess we're both lucky to have been born when, and where, and to whom we were. I wish everyone could be as lucky- sadly it seems to be growing less so for so many, and I worry about the young today. Though I'm sure our parents did as well. Good health, happiness- and much wonderful music- in the New Year. -Bill in Canada
This is amazing! I saw a modern, more grim version, (in Budapest) when tanks were rolling in the background, and to the same music bodybags were unloaded...
Gounod was a major composer of French Opera and though he didn't write many this one has been in the standard repertoire for a very good reason, it is an excellent work. Who with even a grade school level education in music history could question that?

This is one of my dearest memories as an opera chorus singer! I was in this chorus and I could listen to this music for hours!! ❤️
I was in a production at the same time that my men's chorus was doing it - and of course, they were using two different editions!

this is one powerful piece of music. Simple but heartfelt
One word: MAGNIFICENT
Charles Gounod an underrated composer.
Not in France.
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.
😂🤣😂🤣
Мощно!!! Великолепно!!! Божественно!!!
Quelle musique grandiose !
Quelle mise en scène !
Merci, Gounod! Votre musique est très belle!
Oui, tres belle❤

Magnifique!! Real fire too. The smoke is billowing up. I love it all! The costumes. Awww. Bravo.
Yes, real fire makes a fantastic effect of reality!
It is impossible not to be moved for this wonderful music!
Une très belle mise en scène et une interprétation de référence.
Meu Deus! Não há uma vez que escute essa marcha que não fique emocionada e arrepiada.
One of the most beautiful choruses I have listened ever.
Because it is a male chorus
I love so much this song and I’m singing it by heart every time when I need to be brave !!!!
Gloire immortelle!!!

Except that Faust takes place in Germany 500 years ago.

Gloire immortelle
de nos aïeux,
sois-nous fidèle,

et sous ton aile,
soldats vainqueurs,
dirige nos pas, enflamme nos cœurs!
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

Thank you for this beautiful performance! Quel grand plaisir! Merci à tous!
Je regarde et j'écoute tous les soirs ce Magnifique Morceau.
Fantastic seet. of choruses 🌟💚
This is one of the pieces we used to walk into to for the morning assembly at School in 1950's lol
Me too! The Irish nuns loved it. And JP Sousa too.
Je connais les paroles et ce depuis longtemps . J'ai appris à l'école 😢même ancore , les larmes viennent !!!
Thank you, so beautiful.
Incroyable ! ! Vraiment ça me donner envie de chanter
This is so beautifully staged and gloriously sung! It gives me chills whenever I hear and see it.
Coro dos soldados de Faust ,é uma obra-prima lindíssima...o coro é espetacular.
My new favorite chorus selection
I remember my dear grandfather often singing this to me ( with his own words ) in 1944 , when I was six years old .
Где средневековое облачение?
Et le chant des partisans ? une merveille
Would love to hear his words!
My father used to sing
"Old soldiers like the leg of a duck,
Old soldiers like the leg of a duck
And every Sunday morning you'd hear the officers say,
Left, right, turn about, duck for dinner today!"
Nunca olvidaré la primera vez que lo escuche
You ve to play this Anthem over all this world.

Какое вдохновляющее действо и как органично сочетается с прекрасной музыкой!.

A magnificent spectacular performance gave me goosebumps thankyou all who were involved in this production love it
Marvellous. Hope they had a full Fire Crew standing by in the wings.

How banal.
My favourite opera- Italians wrote many but French operas are THE best! Faust is just fantastic - and very expensive to produce.
Les opéras allemands sont aussi très bons
In isolation, this chorus is a brilliant musical work. The greatest operatic work of all time collectively, however, is Der Ring des Nibelungen. Or any of Wagner's works; they are interchangeable.
Who can possibly dislike this?
Some gothic zombies or satanists perhaps ...
Бравоооо!
WOW! Fantastic!
je ne m'en lasse pas !!!!
wonderful music speechless.
OLYAN CSODÁS, FELEMELŐ, LELKESÍTŐ DALLAM, hogy tetőtől talpig borzongok! HÚÚÚ..
Beautiful
Excellent performance !!
Excellent!
What wonderful memories you must have, well done.
Apart from the excellent singing, one must applaud their courage - those flames are seriously healthy !
Not to mention the courage of the audience....that's some seriously healthy *smoke* heading up to the balcony!
No wonder their eyes are shut tight!
You can hear firemen breath very heavily 🤣🤣🤣
Fine chorus indeed - and those torches, if I'm not mistaken, are the stage-safe metal ones - if you drop them, or displace your hand, a spring sends a cover over the flame, extinguishing it. And they weigh a ton!
It's in open-air
LOVE IT!

Spectacular!
WONDERFUL !!!!!!!
