정말 멋진 캐스팅 아닌가.. 그리골로가 파우스트를 얼마나 잘 부를지 모르지만 일단 외모는 ^^  다만, 흐보로스토프스키가 발랑탱에 어울릴지..  사실, 르네 파페가 가장 궁금하고 기대된다.

 

이건 ROH에 올라와있는 이번공연 개요.

The ‘grand’ in grand opera is right at the centre of Faust. With Angela Gheorghiu and Vittorio Grigolo among the perfomers, this star-cast revival has huge forces on stage in a fantastic production with lavish designs. David McVicar’s wonderfully indulgent interpretation brings to life what was once the most famous and most performed opera of all, in which Faust sells his soul to the demon Méphistophélès in exchange for youth, and then is tempted by the innocent beauty of Marguerite. In this vivid, large-scale staging it is a truly theatrical battle of good and evil, spiced with fated romance. Gounod’s opera is renowned for its many hit numbers, whether the dazzling coloratura of Marguerite’s ‘Jewel Song’ waltz, the instantly memorable Soldiers’ Chorus or the impassioned climactic trio between Marguerite, Méphistophélès and Faust. Complete with the Act IV ballet taking a bravura twist and Evelino Pidò conducting the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House and the large forces of the Royal Opera Chorus, this revival of Faust brings together everything that made this 19th-century opera a worldwide phenomenon.
