Gounod's \"Faust\" by the Royal Opera House of Turin led by music director Gianandrea Noseda. The Royal Opera House of Turin has achieved great success since Noseda took over as music director in 2007, and is attracting worldwide attention as having entered its second golden age after the great master Toscanini. Faust\" is an opera in five acts written by Gounod from a libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré, based on the first part of \"Faust,\" a play by the great German writer Goethe. The first performance took place at the Lyric in Paris in 1859, and although it was not so well received, Berlioz, who saw the premiere, apparently thought highly of the work. Since then, it has gradually become more popular and successful with each performance, and is one of the most popular French operas of our time. This production is directed by Stefano Poda, a genius ahead of his time, who handles everything from staging to lighting.By placing a huge black ring object that casts an ominous shadow over the center of the stage, above the singers' heads, and other futuristic and abstract devices, this production proves that the most fascinating moments in the opera are not due to sophisticated lighting. In addition, the wonderful cast of singers is also crucial to the success of this production. The young American tenor Charles Castronovo plays the role of Faust, and his brilliant acting and sweet voice are convincing. Ildar Abdrazakov, a Russian bass who is attracting the attention of the world's top theaters, plays Mephistopheles with a powerful, refined voice and rich technique that gives him an overwhelming presence. Mulgrito, played by young Russian soprano Irina Lungu with her crystal clear voice, is like an innocent young girl. The tragic love story between Faust, who sold his soul to the devil to obtain his youth, and the innocent Margrithe is beautifully presented by Poda's skillful storytelling, Gounod's sweet music, and Noseda's sensitive yet bold conducting.
