The Metropolitan Opera

La Damnation de Faust

HECTOR BERLIOZ

  • ESTIMATED RUN TIME:  2 HRS 45 MINS, 1 intermission
  • SUNG IN FRENCH
  • photo credit:   / Met Opera

Berlioz’s compelling take on the Faust legend returns for the first time in a decade, with an ideal lineup of stars. High-flying tenors Bryan Hymel and Michael Spyres sing the doomed and besotted Faust, opposite dazzling mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča as the forsaken Marguerite and bass Ildar Abdrazakov as the malevolent Méphistophélès. Edward Gardner conducts.
