Charles Gounod, Faust (Margarethe): Oper Leipzig

Over het evenement

Enjoy a production of Charles Gounod's opera Faust at the Oper Leipzig, where artistic director and stage designer, Michiel Dijkema, surprises audiences with imagery that opens fascinating new perspectives.

For the opera adaptation, Gounod reduced the plot of Goethe's original to the part of the story that is known as 'Gretchen's tragedy' while focusing in particular on the glamorous character of Mephisto, a trickster and seducer of the masses whose smartness and witty remarks easily make him one of the most‐liked characters.
