Gounod: Faust
Music
Synopsis
Tenor Jonas Kaufmann is riveting as the title character of Gounodâs popular opera, seen in this Live in HD presentation of Des McAnuffâs thrilling 2011 production that places the mythical and timeless story in an early 20th-century setting. RenĂ© Pape as MĂ©phistophĂ©lĂšs is menacing and elegant in equal measure, and Marina Poplavskaya delivers a searingly intense portrayal of the innocent Marguerite. Russell Braun as her brother, Valentin, shines in his Act II aria. On the podium, Yannick NĂ©zet-SĂ©guin brings out all the lyricism and drama of Gounodâs score.
