Disenchanted by his lifelong quest for knowledge, the ageing philosopher Faust makes a pact with the devil and trades his soul for eternal youth — to disastrous consequences.
Tenor Long Long is the scholar Faust, whose pact with Méphistophélès (bass-baritone Kyle Ketelsen) promises to return him to the innocence of youth—and the love of Marguerite. Murder and madness ensue, with demons, witches, and a chorus of celestial voices rounding out this lavish spectacle directed by Amy Lane.
The cast rounds out with: Guanqun Yu (Marguerite); Szymon Mechlinski (Valentin); Alex Hetherington (Siebel); Megan Latham (Marthe).
On the creative team, Johannes Debus conducts the COC Orchestra, with Amy Lane directing, Set & Costume Design by Emma Ryott, and Lighting Design by Charlie Morgan Jones.
