The next Met opera at the Rialto will be Gounod’s Faust on Feb. 4 at 9:30 a.m.
With Jonas Kaufmann in the title role, René Pape as the Devil, and Marina Poplavskaya as Marguerite, Gounod’s classic retelling of the Faust legend couldn’t be better served.
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 Nézet-Séguin conducts on the heels of his Don Carlo success.
Tickets for all of the Rialto Met performances are on sale now. Adults and youth $21.95; children and seniors $18.95 (plus taxes). For more information, call the Rialto Theatre at 250-338-5502.
