Young Faust makes the deadliest possible bargain, but he has one hell of a time finding out the price.

Half grand opera, half roof-raising choral-orchestral spectacular, Berlioz’ The Damnation of Faust caused a scandal in 1846 when it was first performed, and with its supernatural story and thumping good melodies, it’s still one of 19th-century music’s most rivetingly sinful treats.

Join Edward Gardner, three massed choruses and a charismatic all-star cast for a night when the Devil really does have all the best tunes.
