Faust

The Viennese production of "Faust" by Frank Castorf focuses on criticism of capitalism and live video projections. Mephisto wreaks havoc as a curious mixture of seducer and voodoo priest; the lascivious Margarethe prefers smoking opium to sitting at the spinning wheel and Faust is more Latin lover than philosophy professor who has fallen into the fountain of youth. Musically, the production is a success - on stage and in the orchestra pit, where the Vienna Philharmonic ignites a veritable firework display of sounds.
