Opera ? Cantate ? Symphony ? Unclassifiable ! The Damnation of Faust brings to life one of the founding myths of Romanticism. In this year, Berlioz, who died a hundred and fifty years ago, pays tributes to a famous work by the French composer to discover the loves of Faust and Marguerite, the machinations of Mephistopheles and to share the wonder of the magicians of the orchestra.
