Performer: Ann-Christine Mecke

Adam Palka shines as the devil in this revival of Frank Castorf's multimedia staging that relocates the work to mid-20th century Paris, around the end of the Algerian War.

A thrilling new staging of Gounod's opera from the team that brought Bayreuth its current Ring, with musical rewards to match.

Eine temporeiche Inszenierung und eine starke Besetzung – Gounods Faust war noch nie so kurzweilig. Chapeau!
