Spend an afternoon entranced by this lavish production of Gounod’s famous opera, where an aged philosopher, disillusioned with life, calls upon Satan to help him. The devil strikes a bargain with the philosopher, offering him youth and the love of the beautiful Marguerite if he hands over his soul. With virtuoso leading roles, a large chorus, sensational sets, ballet, and an ecstatic finale, the Royal Opera’s Faust, staged by David McVicar and set in 1870s Paris, is the epitome of theatrical spectacle.

Sung in French with English subtitles
