“Sir Simon Rattle is an absolute genius.”—Bristol Evening Post
This concert piece is so theatrical it’s been staged as an opera. Because Berlioz wrote such vivid music, you won’t need any staging to see—in your imagination—the ambitions Faust, the sardonic devil mocking him, and dramatic dreams and visions that take you all the way to heaven above.
Pre-concert talk starts at 7:00 PM in Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage with Jeremy Geffen, Director of Artistic Planning, Carnegie Hall.
