The devil Méphistophélès appears and strikes a bargain with the philosopher: Faust can have youth and the love of the beautiful Marguerite, but only in exchange for his soul... Gounod\u2019s masterpiece is given the grandest of Royal Opera stagings in David McVicar\u2019s richly layered and theatrically exuberant production, with the drama moved to Second Empire Paris, spectacular sets and costumes, and extensive dance. Michael Fabiano as a seductively witty Faust, Erwin Schrott as a devilish Méphistophélès and Irina Lungu as a passionate Marguerite are joined by the Royal Opera Chorus and a cast of Royal Opera favourites. Dan Ettinger conducts the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House in Gounod\u2019s gloriously tuneful score. Michael Fabiano (Faust); Erwin Schrott (Méphistophélès); Irina Lungu (Marguerite); Stéphane Degout (Valentin); Vardui Abrahamyan (Siébel); Carole Wilson (Marthe Schwertlein); Germán E Alcántara (Wagner); Orchestra & Chorus of the Royal Opera House; Dan Ettinger Stage Director: David McVicar Language - French Subtitles: English","videoId":6313412455112,"browse_view":"contentTypeBrowsePageIndexView","videoCopyright":"© Royal Opera House Covent Garden Foundation, 2019","subscription":"bvl_opera_romantic","title":"Faust","xml_source":"bvl_opera_romantic_video-vra.xml","browse_search":"bv-9781350895294","videoPoster":"https://cf-images.eu-west-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/4171818645001/2ef52256-e09b-4be7-a619-e3895589735b/dacf9fa3-029f-4700-9fe0-e65faad5b7e6/1280x720/match/image.jpg","facets":"romanticOpera , Romantic opera , _19thCenturyAndRomanticOpera , 19th century and romantic opera , beliefRitualsAndWorship , Belief, rituals and worship , supernatural , Supernatural , symbolism , Symbolism , mentalHealth , Mental health , power , Power , identity , Identity , made_20102019 , 2010\u20132019 , french , French , origin_england , England , video , Video , operaByPeriod , Opera by period , societyAndSocietalIssues , Society and societal issues , anthropology , Anthropology , artsAndLiterature , Arts and literature , made_2000Present , 2000\u2013present , origin_unitedKingdom , United Kingdom , operaByGenre , Opera by genre , music , Music , origin_europe , Europe ,","contenttypeorder":3,"date_of_publication":2019,"publisher":"The Royal Opera","productname":"bvl_all","id_search":"bv-9781350895294","facet":["_19thCenturyAndRomanticOpera","anthropology","artsAndLiterature","beliefRitualsAndWorship","french","identity","made_2000Present","made_20102019","mentalHealth","music","operaByGenre","operaByPeriod","origin_england","origin_europe","origin_unitedKingdom","power","romanticOpera","societyAndSocietalIssues","supernatural","symbolism","video"],"contentType":"video","authors":"Charles Gounod~David McVicar~Rhodri Huw~The Royal Opera"}
