“All theory is gray, my friend. But forever green is the tree of life.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust: First Part
With his opera Faust, Charles Gounod created an extraordinary fusion of sublime melody, vocal challenge, and dramatic power. It quickly attracted audiences worldwide and propelled Faust to its position of unchallenged popularity in France. The Macao Orchestra, under the direction of Lü Jia, joins forces with the Coro Lirico Siciliano and Lyric Opera of Chicago in a lavish and stunning production of Faust. Featuring innovative stage, costume and set designs, Lyric Opera of Chicago has played host to some of the greatest singers and performers over the years. Industrious, warmhearted, resourceful, and ambitious, the Lyric is a unique and profoundly professional outfit that looks back at over 50 years of superb operatic history. Supported by a stellar musical cast, this production is sure to invigorate your senses by revisiting one of the most influential and popular works from the glory days of French grand opera.
