Opera Western Reserve presents Faust on Saturday, September 20 at 7:30pm at Powers Auditorium. Faust is an opera in five acts, based on Carré’s play Faust et Marguerite, which itself is a loose adaptation of Faust, Part One by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Music by Charles Gounod. Libretto by Jules Barbier & Michel Carré.
Gounod’s opera tells the tragic tale of an aging man who makes a pact with the devil to regain his youth. As Faust embarks on a passionate romance with the innocent Marguerite, the deal leads to heartbreaking consequences.
Dynamic performances combine with a powerful story of love, betrayal, and redemption, as Gounod’s masterpiece comes to life on the Edward W. Powers Auditorium stage at the DeYor Performing Arts Center.
