Performer: John Nelson

After their terrific Troyens in 2017, John Nelson, Michael Spyres, Joyce DiDonato and Nicolas Courjal return to Strasbourg for a fabulous Faust. 

Michael Spyres' long lyrical line in the Sanctus was outstanding, his tone ardent and ringing.

Nothing is better than when Berlioz ramps up the decibels. With a huge orchestra and choir and a deluxe starry cast assembled in Strasbourg, this was a special performance. 

There’s nobody on the planet who’s conducted Berlioz’s epic opera The Trojans more than John Nelson.
