Clowes Hall

The first opera ever performed at New York’s Metropolitan Opera House (back in 1883, when it was only 24 years old), Gounod’s “Faust” is now a staple in the operatic repertoire. Yet while the basic premise is familiar to anyone who has seen “Bedazzled,” “Damn Yankees,” or any of dozens of its imitators, I’d venture to say those who attend Indianapolis Opera’s production won’t know in advance exactly what will happen once the aged title character gives up his soul to Mephistopheles. It’s the final production of the IO season, and it promises to be the grandest. IO vet Gran Wilson plays Faust. Maureen O’Flynn is his motivator, Marguerite, and Kevin Short (a frequent Porgy around the country) takes on the demonic bargain hunter. Details here
