Faust, that's us. Composer Robert Schumann leafed through Goethe's masterpiece and captured the essence in seven iconic scenes, oscillating between opera and oratorio. According to conductor Philippe Herreweghe, these Szenen aus Goethe's Faust beg for staging. Enter: film director Julian Rosefeldt and choreographer Femke Gyselinck. Together they capture the Faustian condition in image and movement. Under an overwhelming video screen, the stage is populated by an extraordinary community of singers: soloists as well as Collegium Vocale Gent and the Chorus and Children's Chorus of Opera Ballet Flanders.

This opera can be seen on 12-05 and 14-05-2023 in Montpellier.
