Replay of the live broadcast with Hungarian subtitle.Des McAnuff, the Tony Award-winning director making his début at the Met, has transplanted this medieval tale into the first half of the 20th century. He considers it his personal responsibility to put the philosophy of opera into practice: “I think that's the Faustian journey right there. It’s trying to escape from ultimate knowledge, which includes evil.” Star tenor Jonas K...aufmann sings the lead role within these walls for the first time, and alongside Marina Poplavskaya's Marguerite and René Papé's Mephistopheles, it would not have been possible to find a better cast to reawaken the legend. The set was designed by Robert Brill and the costumes by Paul Tazewell, both of whom are working in the Metropolitan for the first time. Dustin O’Neill is the lighting designer, the choreographer is Kelly Devine, and the fight scenes are directed by Stephen Rankin. Presented by: Palace of Arts, Sponsor: Erste Bank
