Amy Lane’s production of Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette at the COC is eye-catching and enjoyable but doesn’t offer the same level of insight as her Faust last season. 

Amy Lane's scattered borrowings from Tim Burton to Stanley Kubrick fail to cohere in the Canadian Opera Company's new Faust.

After more than a quarter of a century, Janáček’s late masterpiece returns to the Canadian Opera Company, but falls short in charm, magic, and humour.
