Title: Bertin "Fausto" – first staged production since 1831
Post by: Wheesht on Tuesday 02 April 2024, 10:34
The Aalto Musiktheater (https://www.theater-essen.de/spielplan/fausto/8157/) in Essen, Germany is showing the first staged production of "Fausto" by Louise Bertin since its premiere in Paris in 1831.

There appears to be just this short trailer (https://youtu.be/SFShARSGFBQ?feature=shared) on Youtube.

A quick search has come up with three German reviews, all positive:

Here's a link to the thread about the recording (of a different performance) on Bru Zane:

Just to be clear: this German staging is a different production, and there is no information about a possible recording of this production (yet).

Quite so. The link's just there in case members have missed the Bru Zane release - or wish to hear some excerpts. I've put a clarification to this effect in my previous post.
