La Damnation de Faust
Alain Altinoglu conducts the Vienna Philhamonic in Berlioz's La Damnation de Faust at the 2021 Salzburg Festival. Charles Castronovo sings Faust with Elina Garanca as Marguerite.
Vienna Philharmonic at the 2021 Salzburg Festival: Berlioz' La Damnation de Faust.
Over the next two weeks Opera on 3 presents two French takes on the Faust legend, in which the hero exchanges his soul for unlimited knowledge. Today: a concert presentation of Berlioz鈥檚 compelling and imaginative version - like the masterpiece it's based on, wild and grandiose but also intimately beautiful.
The cast is an ideal line-up of stars: tenor Charles Castronovo sings the doomed and besotted Faust, with the dazzling mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca as his forsaken lover Marguerite and bass Ildar Abdrazakov as the malevolent M茅phistoph茅l猫s. Alain Altinoglu conducts.
Presented by Tom Service, in conversation with William Mival.
