SUMMARY:Omar - Johnson/Owen - Lyric Opera of Chicago

SUMMARY:Faust - Mephistopheles - Houston Grand Opera
DESCRIPTION:Temptation\, redemption\, and the price of desire take center stage in Gounod’s Faust\, arriving in a dazzling\, dance-infused production from visionary director David McVicar. Reimagined as a tormented composer in Belle Époque Paris\, the title character makes a fateful pact with Mephistopheles: his soul in exchange for youth and sensual pleasure. After Faust sets his sights on the pure-hearted Marguerite\, his passion leads to her ruin—but also her salvation. Set to one of the most beloved scores in French opera\, Faust is full of iconic moments\, from the diabolical “Song of the Golden Calf” to Marguerite’s glittering “Jewel Song.” Sublime soprano Pretty Yende makes her company debut as Marguerite\, joined by tenor Matthew Polenzani as Faust and bass-baritone Kyle Ketelsen as Mephistopheles. Giacomo Sagripanti\, music director of the Tbilisi Opera House\, conducts in his HGO debut.
