"...Overall, the production is highly effective. As a musician, I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it is also perfectly accessible to non-musicians who enjoy drama laced with comedy. I took a friend to the performance who is not a musician and has only seen a couple operas; she called Faust the best production she had seen, being blown away by the three leads and finding the story and music compelling. She may not have noticed musical minutia, like when Sir Andrew Davis and Mr. Pape disagreed on tempo for a whole phrase, but there is more to opera than music."
