The classic story of the Faust legend is brought to life by Dmitri Bertman’s and Ene-Liis Semper’s fantastic vision in one of the most famous operas of all times. In 2007 the same team brought to stage Erkki-Sven Tüür’s award-winning opera “Wallenberg”.

Barbier and Carré based their libretto on the first part of Goethe’s play, later adding scenes from the 2nd act. By the death of Gounod in 1893, “Faust” had been performed in Paris over a thousand times. The opera was so popular in the US that for decades in the 19th century, the New York opera season was opened with “Faust”.
