About Faust
Something sinister awaits...
Disillusioned with old age, Faust calls on the devil who tempts him with an offer he cannot refuse: youth, wealth and the beautiful Marguerite. But before long, Faust's newfound happiness starts to unravel, and the dream of love turns into a nightmare.
David McVicar's wonderfully theatrical production of Gounod's opera is packed with many musical highlights and energetic dance sequences. Prepare to be mesmerised by this visual feast, featuring a brilliant cast, including Stefan Pop and Erwin Schrott.
