Goethe has a famous interpretation of Faust.
Hector Berlioz created a work that is technically an oratorio, though recently successfully staged as an opera, entitled Damnation of Faust - which offers an easier - and almost hauntingly alluring interpretation of the tragedy. I myself watched, no, not watched, but experienced the opera on four different occasions - bringing different family members and friends for each occasion. Here is a non-vocal ballet interlude for any that have interest - (sorry to tarry from names...)
