Ballet in two parts after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
- Director: François Roussillon
- Genre: Music
- Runtime: 1 h 27 m
Inspired by Goethe's early romantic play Clavigo, Roland Petit's ballet recounts the agonies of a weak-willed lover torn between the contradictory promptings of his heart and his evil spirit, which urges him to serve his own interests and forsake true love in favor of a life of debauchery. Recorded live at the Opera National de Paris, Palais Garnier, October 1999.
