Of all the music inspired by the ancient tale of the old philosopher who sells his soul for a second lease of life, Gounod's Goethe-based opera is at once the most grandly spectacular and the most endearingly romantic.

A stunning cast is led by Toby Spence (2008's wide-eyed Candide) and Melody Moore (2009's heart-stopping Mimì in La bohème) as Faust and Marguerite, with Iain Paterson as the devilish Mephistopheles and Benedict Nelson (The Daily Telegraph's 'Best Newcomer' of 2009) as Gretchen's soldier brother Valentin. ENO's Olivier Award-winning Music Director, Edward Gardner conducts. Cast includes Toby Spence, Melody Moore, Iain Paterson, Benedict Nelson, Anna Grevelius & Pamela Helen Stephen Conductor Edward Gardner; Director Des McAnuff; Set Designer Robert Brill; Costume Designer Paul Tazewell; Lighting Designer Peter Mumford; Choreographer Kelly Devine; Video Designer Dustin O'Neill
