June 17 - Charles Gounod (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual Cycle)

Charles Gounod (17 June 1818 – 18 October 1893) was a French opera composer.

Anges purs, anges radieux


Marguerite, in the final tableau,

Is sick and has nowhere to go.

She sings with two guys,

Then ascends to the skies…

And that is the end of the show.
