A legcsodálatosabb opera...nem tudom abbahagyni a kül. felvételek hallgatását...Olyan gyönyörű dallamok, hogy hihetetlen...Egyik énekes csodálatosabb mint a másik...
Superlative singing, but who is the Soprano? Curious presentation, and yet, it works for me... would very much like to see more of this... only then would it be possible to make a fair judgement. And let's be honest... so many "modernistic" takes on 19th Century Operas are, in general, way off the mark... the Librettists & Composers that created them must be cringing in their heaven or hell! But, very occasionally, the most way-out production can actually bring fresh perspective to a familiar piece... doesn't seem to happen too often! Hope to see the full Metropolitan Opera "Faust" posted soon....

Kauffman and that schreechy soprano are awful. Kaifmann keeps darkening his voice and it doesn't suit him at all. Opera is just awful now, which is sad. Faust ends with the chorale not him collapsing in the floor as an old man. What the hell is wrong with these stage directors
I agree the soprano isn't the best singer although her acting is great. But I love the ending - my interpretation is that Faust finally accepts his own mortality. Even though he poisons himself, he is released from his pact with the devil and is saved spiritually.
Anteslos cantantes de ópera no se veían tan feos.Es difícil darle vuelo a la imaginación con puestas en escena tan horribles,de pantomima grotesca y ,para colmo,en contravía franca con el contenido.
@@Yorick10314 It's a shame, what they are doing to the final of this great opera all over the world today.They are ignoring Gounod's music and are presenting freak shows.
Seeing younger people with talent like this I still believe there is hope for the human race . . . .
Umm… 😐😐😐😐
Wow, what a satisfying ending! This is the best staging of the ending that I've ever seen!!! Thank you for posting!❤
A wonderful opera. Great version.
God, I miss Poplavskaya, squally notes and all. She had extraordinary concentration and conviction.
She could act. She is such a better actor than the "other" Russian.
@@TeachUBusiness But the "other" Russian made much better choices which is why she's still singing. Personally, I'm a fan of both Russians.
Amen. As I said on another thread, she was spellbinding in the role in the house. A totally committed artist.
@@moorfan1 "Spellbinding." Yes, the perfect word. Wonderful voice, superb acting.
Very beatifull version!!
what a wonderfull finale!
Magnificent
THANKS FOR REMINDING ME OF THIS GREAT OPERA.J. PLOTTNER
Yes indeed, Jesus is risen! Praise the Lord and Alleluia!!
First is first, nailed it. simple as that. This is what I want to see in a Faust ending.
Thrilling!

Una INCREÍBLE versión de Fausto ....Pape y Kaufmann están increíble s
Yes, I was there!!! 1 st row too Yea, really !!! :)
Wow
Poplyvskaya disappeared from opera stage (mainly ROH) and then we heard she became a mezzo.... wonder what happens recently?
"She is damned!" But I still don't get the ending as staged here.
It then says God saves her on reply, so that is the actual ending. She climbs the white staircase as a symbol of her soul going to heaven...
One of my favourite arias and very well sung. Who are the singers?

Is that Jonas Kauffman? Who is the soprano?
Yes, Kaufmann and Marina Poplavskaya.
Sometimes contemporized and minimalistic productions do not work.
They certainly don't in this case
Fausto mais bonito da história dessa ópera.

Abominable
Meh....
Horrible production.

Disgusting production!
Thank you for saying it. Gelb has ruined the Met!
