Soloists:
Gabriela Beňačková, Judith Christin, Samuel Ramey
Orchestra, Chorus:
Chorus and Orchestra of the San Francisco Opera House
Conductor:
Maurizio Arena
Director:
Robert Carsen
Arrigo Boito's treatment of the Faust legend is imaginative yet also faithful to Goethe's original conception, and the score is memorable for its rich orchestral sounds, beautifully punctuated with lyrical passages and choral interludes.

Samuel Ramey, in the title role, has won both critical and overwhelming popular approval.
