The last of Gounod's operas, "Le Tribut de Zamora" (1881), ran for 34 nights, and in 1884 he made a revision of "Sapho", which lasted for 30 performances at the Opéra. He reworked the role of Glycère, the deceitful villainess of the piece, with the image of Weldon in his mind: "I dreamt of the model … who was terrifying in satanic ugliness" Throughout these disappointments "Faust" continued to attract the public, and in November 1888 Gounod conducted the 500th performance at the Opéra.
