Met Opera: Faust

The 2011-2012 MetOpera season is the Metropolitan Opera's fifth season of live performances, captured in HD, featuring 11 transmissions with many of the world's greatest singers. 

Gounod – Faust
"With Jonas Kaufmann in the title role, René Pape as the devil, and Angela Gheorghiu as Marguerite, Gounod’s classic retelling of the Faust legend couldn’t be better served. Tony Award-winning director Des McAnuff updates the story to the first half of the 20th century with a production that won praise in London last season. A later run features another first-tier Faust cast: Roberto Alagna, Joseph Calleja, Marina Poplavskaya, and Ferruccio Furlanetto. Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts on the heels of his Don Carlo success."
