The Met Live in HD: 'Faust'

A live HD broadcast to a cinema near you –see website. Des McAnuff's new staging of Gounod's 'Faust' sets the quintessential tale of a man's bargain with the devil in the first half of the twentieth century. Jonas Kaufmann sings the title role for the first time at the Met, opposite Marina Poplavskaya as Marguerite, the woman he loves and destroys, and René Pape as the devil himself, Méphistophélès. Russell Braun is Marguerite's brother, the soldier Valentin, and Michèle Losier is the lovesick student Siébel. Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts. Hosted by Joyce DiDonato.
