Franz Liszt is one of the Romantic period’s foremost composers. What Wagner achieved on the opera stage Liszt achieved at the piano. A Faust Symphony is one of his most magnificent creations, an orchestral interpretation of the man who sold his soul to the devil. Alan Gilbert conducts the Royal Swedish Orchestra in this epic work on the Opera House’s main stage!

The story of Faust goes back to the 16th century. The foremost German poet of the Romantic period, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, spent many years writing his two plays about Faust, a work that has resonated throughout cultural life for one and a half centuries. A Faust Symphony, performed for the first time in 1857, has three movements, each of which is a musical portrait of the story’s three protagonists: Faust, the love of his life, Gretchen, and Mephistopheles, the devil in human form. The symphony ends with a sublime section for tenor, male choir and orchestra. An unforgettable concert!
