FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Gounod’s Faust at Peterborough Players
New Production in The Met: Live in HD Series
Peterborough, NH (November 28, 2011) – The Peterborough Players will broadcast The Met: Live in HD’s new production of the opera Faust, by Charles Gounod on Saturday, December 10th at 1:00 p.m. Tickets: $25 adults, $20 students, available through the Box Office: (603) 924-7585 or Online: www.PeterboroughPlayers.org.
In the classic German legend, Faust (or Faustus) is an idealistic and highly successful scholar who becomes bitter and dissatisfied with his life. In exchange for gaining power, unlimited knowledge, and worldly pleasures, he forsakes God, makes a deal with the Devil, and thus commits his soul to eternal damnation.
Gounod’s retelling of the Faust legend comes alive with Jonas Kaufmann in the title role, Rene Pape as the devil, and Marina Poplavskaya as Marguerite. Tony Award-winning director Des McAnuff updates the story to the first half of the 20th century with a production that won praise in London last season. Yannick Nezet-Seguin conducts.
Approximate running time: 4 hours and 25 minutes. Casting subject to change without notice.
