How to get there
Amore Opera presents Gounod's Faust, a timeless tale of temptation, passion, and redemption. Desperate to reclaim his youth, the aging scholar Faust makes a dangerous bargain with Méphistophélès, setting in motion a tragic love story that will forever change the life of the innocent Marguerite.
Presented as a semi-staged, fully costumed production with orchestra and English supertitles at the intimate Sanctuary at St. Paul & St. Andrew, this limited 8-performance run features a brand-new orchestral reduction created in-house and four full rotating casts of singers. Filled with soaring melodies, unforgettable arias, and powerful choruses, Faust remains one of the great masterpieces of French opera, and this is your chance to hear the Spinning Wheel Song live without waiting more than a decade for the Metropolitan Opera to revive it.
