What it’s about. The director, Roland Schwab, has created his version of Hell. The set is like a high iron walled hanger and the stage is continually occupied with people who look like fugitives from Mad Max and who interact with Mefistofele. The orchestra and choir are wonderful. Rene Pape gives a nuanced interpretation with a certain amount of sardonic humour under the evil. His singing and acting are first rate, as is that of Kristine Opolais and Joseph Calleja.
Who’s in it. Mefistofele stars René Pape as Mefistofele, Joseph Calleja as Faust, Kristine Opolais as Margherita and Karine Babajanyan as Elena, among others.
