Gounod,charles / Castronovo,charles / Poda,stefano - Gounod: Faust - Blu-ray

After it's premiere in 1859, Gounod's Faust was an instant hit, and is still one of France's most popular operas. Based on the play Faust et Marguerite, the work features libretto by Michel Carre. This staging is by director Stefano Poda. "A triumph that will long remain in the annals as one of the most brilliant stagings not only in this theatre, but in any of today's opera houses..."
